Python-Socks

The python-socks package provides a core proxy client functionality for Python. It supports SOCKS4(a), SOCKS5(h), and HTTP CONNECT proxies, offering both synchronous and asynchronous (asyncio, trio, curio, anyio) APIs. It's often used internally by other HTTP client libraries like `aiohttp-socks` and `httpx-socks` rather than directly. The current version is 2.8.1, and it maintains an active release cadence.
