use openai.proxies to set proxy doesn't work

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

before v1 I can use openai.proxy to set proxy, but after v1 I can't use it any more. At first I thought it would be good again after change openai.proxy to openai.proxies, but not working either.

To Reproduce

openai.proxies = {...proxy setting}

This is supported and documented: https://github.com/openai/openai-python#configuring-the-http-client

Thank you @jussker for the example illustrating this!

proxyHost = "127.0.0.1"
proxyPort = 10809

client = OpenAI(http_client=httpx.Client(proxies=f"http://{proxyHost}:{proxyPort}"))

before v1 you can use openai.proxy to set a global proxy setting for all clients of openai package. So this feature will be removed from v1?

[rattrayalex]

The feature has moved.

[shadowlinyf]

The feature has moved.

Is there sitll a way to set it globally for all openai client in v1?

[rattrayalex]

What I would suggest is making a function like get_openai_client() which instantiates and memoizes an OpenAI client with your desired proxy settings, and importing and using that function everywhere you need an OpenAI client.
