PyPAC is a pure-Python library for finding proxy auto-config (PAC) files and making HTTP requests that respect them. PAC files are often used in organizations that need fine-grained and centralized control of proxy settings.

PyPAC provides a subclass of a Requests Session, so you can start using it immediately, with any PAC file transparently discovered and honoured:

>>> from pypac import PACSession
>>> session = PACSession()
>>> session.get('http://example.org')
...

If a PAC file isn’t found, then PACSession acts exactly like a regular Session.

PyPAC can find PAC files according to the DNS portion of the Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD) protocol. On Windows, PyPAC can also obtain the PAC file URL from the Internet Options dialog, via the registry.

Features

  • The same Requests API that you already know and love

  • Honour PAC setting from Windows Internet Options

  • Follow DNS Web Proxy Auto-Discovery protocol

  • Proxy authentication pass-through

  • Proxy failover and load balancing

PyPAC supports Python 2.7 and 3.3+.

Installation

Install PyPAC using pip:

$ pip install pypac

Documentation

PyPAC’s documentation is available at http://pypac.readthedocs.io/.

0.6.0 (2018-01-28)

  • Add pac_context_for_url, a context manager that adds basic PAC functionality through proxy environment variables.

0.5.0 (2018-01-18)

  • Accept PAC files served with no Content-Type header.

0.4.0 (2017-11-07)

  • Add recursion_limit keyword argument to PACSession and PACFile. The default is an arbitrarily high value (10000), which should cover most applications.

  • Exclude port numbers from host passed to FindProxyForURL(url, host).

0.3.1 (2017-06-23)

  • Update GitHub username.

0.3.0 (2017-04-12)

  • Windows: Get system auto-proxy config setting using winreg module.

  • Windows: Accept local filesystem paths from system proxy auto-config setting.

  • Raise PacComplexityError when recursion limit is hit while parsing PAC file.

  • Support setting PACSession.proxy_auth and ProxyResolver.proxy_auth after constructing an instance.

  • Narrative docs.

0.2.1 (2017-01-19)

  • Require Js2Py >= 0.43 for Python 3.6 support, and to avoid needing to monkeypatch out pyimport.

0.1.0 (2016-06-12)

  • First release.
