Proxies in Python Requests

Question

So I used Proxy Broker to scrape some proxies. Sometimes the proxies are dead when scraped so I wanted to check them before I used them. So I wrote a program using Python Requests to check them. Here it is:

import time
import random
import requests
lines = open('not_checked.txt').read().splitlines()
check =random.choice(lines)
yaya = {
  check
}
for x in range(0 , 10):
    requests.get('https://reg.ebay.com/reg/PartialReg?ru=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2F': proxies=yaya)
    r.status_code
    print(status_code)

    if status_code == 200:
        f=open("checked_proxies.txt", "a+")
        f.write(proxies)
    else:
       time.sleep(.001)

However this throws back the "set object has no attribute get". I looked the error up online and the it said it is because I used a comma instead of a colon. So then I tried:

requests.get('https://reg.ebay.com/reg/PartialReg?ru=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2F': proxies=yaya)

to get a syntax error. What is going on?

proxies needs to be a dict. It's right there in the docs:

proxies = {
  'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
  'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}

Your yaya is a set not dict.
