How to change Tor identity in Python?

Question

I have the following script:

import socks
import socket
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, \"127.0.0.1\", 9050)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
         


        

Answer 1

The following could work:

for i in range(0, 10):
   #somehow change tor identity
   socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050+i)
   socket.socket = socks.socksocket

   print(urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read())

You basically set set the proxy prior to making each connection. I am asuming that you have different proxies for different IPs since you have not stated how you intend to change the IP
