How to use HTTP & HTTPS proxy along with OAuth2 with requests package in Python?

Question

I am using requests package in Python to call some APIs. I am behind a corporate firewall, so I was using proxies to access data from the APIs. But now I need to use OAuth2 as well. Requests does not support OAuth2 by itself, we have to use requests-oauthlib for that. But requests-oauthlib does not have option to use proxies (see its documentation here).

So, how can I use both OAuth2 and proxies? Although I prefer to use requests package for its simplicity, any method is welcome.

The session objects provided by requests-oauthlib inherit from requests.Session, so you can specify proxies on them the same way that you can on an instantiated requests.Session():

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session

session = OAuth2Session(...)
session.proxies = {'all': 'http://my.proxy.url:3128'}

session.fetch_token(...)

I suggest either modify the requests-oauthlib for your purpose to support Proxy or directly use requests API as writing oauth clients is not that difficult. It is same standard HTTP stuff
