This project uses some libraries that are not available through pip. They are automatically downloaded at runtime, and are listed below for completeness and attribution purposes.

  • SocksiPy
    • This is used for various proxy-related tasks
    • License: The new BSD license
    • Dan Haim and the forked branch maintainers
  • SocksiPyHandler
    • This allows us to use urllib2 via a proxy without monkey-patching everything
    • License: Gist, no license specified in the file
    • e000 (e at tr0ll dot in)

We attempt to download the libraries instead of distributing them directly as it allows us to use them without violating their license terms, as our project is licensed using a different open-source license.
