urllib and proxies

I need in using Tor+Privoxy with my python-script.

proxies = {
    'http'  : '127.0.0.1:8118',
    'ssl'   : '127.0.0.1:8118',
    'socks' : '127.0.0.1:9050'
}

The first question: is the 'socks' name right? Maybe there should be something like 'socks5'? The next step is that I should pass user-agent string with this proxies to the urllib and save information from loaded site into .html file. I don't know how to pass headers information w开发者_如何学运维ith proxies.

not sure whether urllib is able to deal with socks proxy.. you may try socksipy
