[tor] -p --proxy problem about wafw00f

[lphuberdeau]

The correct socks module may not be installed. There is quite a lot of confusion around which one is the good one. Since it's an optional dependency, it's not listed in setup.py.

I had the socks proxy tested with PySocks==1.5.6 at the time. A quick look at the repo shows that the function still exists and has the same signature.

Let me know if this helps.

@lphuberdeau good 👍
a simple sudo pip install PySocks==1.5.6 solves the problem

it will be cool if you add a requirements.txt file and/or add sudo pip install PySocks==1.5.6 command in the README.md file at how-do-i-install-it === will allow new future users not to have to ask or look about this problem in the future :)

thank you

Had any luck with the latest version of the library?

~$ sudo pip install PySocks --upgrade
