How do I use LO's proxy settings in python scripts?

[LittleMichael]

I have a python script embedded into my document which downloads some data from the Internet. Essentially it works, but I am having trouble with the proxy settings.

I am using urllib.requests to do my web calls and whenever I am behind a proxy server, my calls fail, i.e., time out. I do have proxy settings in Extras->Options->Internet->Proxy. How do I access these settings in a python script?

If I don’t have specifc proxy settings but leave the setting at System, how do I obtain the correct proxy settings for urllib to work in my LO document?

2. ‘System’ proxy setting are depending on your OS which you do not precise …

Thanks for the hint about the configuration keys and that I may access them from python. This was just the information I needed. I shall write my own configuration-key-reader, due to unclear licensing of the code you referenced.

You can add access proxy in your script, look:

urllib.request.urlretrieve with proxy?
