proxyfix

---

Proxyfix is meant to simplify the steps needed to get Anaconda working through https firewalls by appending certificates to the python requests library, configuring pip, and setting and/or prepending environment variables (i.e. HTTPS_PROXY) as needed. While proxyfix updates the certificates via requests, certifi will overwrite this configuration when updated, requiring a re-append of the certificates.

proxyfix will:

• Append the SSL certificates (certs) contained in the folder specified by the path (ending with *.crt or *.pem) to the python requests library.
• Set and/or prepend necessary environment variables for python (HTTPS_PROXY) and R (R_LIBS_USER).
• Create/update pip config for ssl certs.

Command line:

$ proxyfix.py --cert_path . --set_env VAR1=var1,VAR2=var2 --prepend_env PYTHONPATH=. --requests --pip --aws

As python module:

import ./proxyfix
proxyfix.main(cert_path=path, set_env=set_envtings, prepend_env=prepend_envs, do_requests=True do_pip=True, do_aws=True )

Where:

• path is a path string to the folder containing certificates
• set_env and prepend_envs are dictionaries for prepending or setting environment variables
• pip is a True/False for configuring pip
• aws is a True/False for configuring the aws boto3 library installed via the aws installer (a separate python installation). At the time of writing, it is only applicable to Windows.
