bypass proxy using tor and torctl

I am looking how to bypass pass proxy using tor and torctl, I looked on various steps and wrote this script in python.

After starting tor, ideally this should work

proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "127.0.0.1:8118"} )
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
#urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.fr')
data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen("https://www.google.co.in/trends/hottrends/hotItems?geo=IN&mob=0&hvsm=0"))

which again gives this message :

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 528, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable

I have already started tor and enabled control port using

tor --controlport 9051

Do I need to make any other change?

EDIT treaceback after change as per new answer of running tor on 1080 port

>>> import urllib2
>>> proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "127.0.0.1:1080"})
>>> opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
>>> urllib2.install_opener(opener)
>>> import json 
>>> data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen("https://www.google.co.in/trends/hottrends/hotItems?geo=IN&mob=0&hvsm=0"))
('216.58.220.3', 443)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 127, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 407, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 520, in http_response
    'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)

    return self._call_chain(*args)

    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 528, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)

You can use tor as a SOCKS proxy.

Start tor with:

tor SOCKSPort 1080

And use the SOCKS 5 proxy at 127.0.0.1:1080.

Also check this question on how to use a SOCKS proxy with urllib2.
