Using gspread with proxy

Question

I am trying to access google spreadsheets through gspread api in python. I have imported gspread . I am getting socket. error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it at gc = gspread.login('pan*******@gmail.com', '********')

Here is my code:

import urllib2
import urllib
import gspread
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageDraw
from PIL import ImageFont

w = 420

gc = gspread.login('pan******@gmail.com', '*******')
wks = gc.open("Spreadsheet").sheet1

I have checked that the username and password is correct. I have added two environment variables as 'http_proxy':'host:port' and 'https_proxy':'host:port' What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Answer 1

For anyone who might have this problem, I found out that gspread library doesn't support proxy connections. I ran it through normal connection and it worked.
