How to specify source IP address in python requests

Question

I have several IP addresses configured on my network interface card. I need to specify through which IP address python requests must connect to the web server. Is it possible?

import requests
r = requests.get("http://example.com/foo/bar")

I need to force requests.get to perform http request through a dasignated IP address.

Is there any other http library that support this feature in python?

It is possible but if you need help for the implementation you must be more specific about the devices and tools you use for it. — AvyWam, Jun 28 '22 at 10:29
No, i have One interface with multi IP addresses. I don't have multi network interfaces — Chris Hemsworth, Jun 28 '22 at 10:52

You can use a SourceAddressAdapter from requests-toolbelt:

import requests
from requests_toolbelt.adapters import source

source = source.SourceAddressAdapter('127.0.0.1')

with requests.Session() as session:
    session.mount('http://', source)
    r = session.get("http://example.com/foo/bar")

Are you running a Django/Django-Rest project? Because, if so, you can just specify a custom host and port into the python manage.py runserver command! Like so:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8001

Hope I understood the problem
