I'm not sure whether that help or not but you can set proxy settings on mechanize proxy browser.

br = Browser()
# Explicitly configure proxies (Browser will attempt to set good defaults).
# Note the userinfo ("joe:password@") and port number (":3128") are optional.
br.set_proxies({"http": "joe:[email protected]:3128",
                "ftp": "proxy.example.com",
                })
# Add HTTP Basic/Digest auth username and password for HTTP proxy access.
# (equivalent to using "joe:password@..." form above)
br.add_proxy_password("joe", "password")

You use mechanize.Request.set_proxy(host, type) (at least as of 0.1.11)

assuming an http proxy running at localhost:8888

req = mechanize.Request("http://www.google.com") req.set_proxy("localhost:8888","http") mechanize.urlopen(req)

Should work.
