What Is socksForPython?
|

</H2>
|
|
<P>
|
|
This is a python module that works just like the socket module, but uses
|
|
the SOCKS protocol to make connections through a firewall machine. See
|
|
README.socks for more info on SOCKS.

Perhaps the author <ylee@syl.dl.nec.com> could help. Perhaps version

4.1 would be enough for your purposes. Archie lists

Put this directory in the python source tree under python/Extensions

<LI>
|
|
Edit the Makefile to point to your python and SOCKS installations
|
|
<LI>
|
|
If you're using SunOS 4.1.3 and you have gcc installed, you can build a
|
|
dynamically linked module. Just invoke 'make' and you'll end up with
|
|
SOCKSmodule.so . Put that in your $PYTHONPATH, and you're all set. (This
|
|
might work for other platforms too, but I have no way to find out!)
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Otherwise, you can build socksmodule.o and link it into the interpreter using
|
|
the normal python Extensions mechanism. See Makefile.pre.in for details.
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Set up the SOCKS server, and set your <EM>$SOCKS_SERVER</EM> appropriately
|
|
(I assume you or somebody at your site knows how to set up the socks server,
|
|
or you wouldn't be interested in this package in the first place.)
|
|
<LI>
|
|
To use the SOCKS module in python code, I just replace:
|
|
<PRE> import socket
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>
|
|
with
|
|
<PRE> try:
|
|
import SOCKS; socket = SOCKS
|
|
except ImportError:
|
|
import socket
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
included is a patch to ftplib.py that will make it (1) import SOCKS as above,
|
|
and (2) set up the data connection in a way that SOCKS can handle.

Bugs/Limitations
|
|
</H2>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that SOCKS makes some assumptions about the way the socket library is
|
|
used. See <EM>What_SOCKS_expects</EM>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
XXX socksmodule.c should be tweaked to raise exceptions for things that SOCKS
|
|
doesn't support.
