#!/usr/bin/python
import socks
import socket

socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4, "127.0.0.1", 9050, True)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket

import urllib2
print urllib2.urlopen("http://example.com/").read()


Expected result: all network communications go through SOCKS4A proxy

Actual result: DNS lookup of example.com goes through default gateway, followed by HTTP connection via the proxy

Looks like a bug in the third-party "socks" module rather than in urllib. You should report it there.
