Set different environment variables per thread

I was wondering if it is possible to run threads each with its own environment variables.

I am currently using environment variables to set my proxies like this:

os.environ["HTTP_PROXY"] = proxy["http"]
os.environ["HTTPS_PROXY"] = proxy["https"]

But I noticed that each thread will just use the proxy that has last been set. It is not possible for me to use the requests library for this purpose.

Is there a way that I can achieve this without using requests.Session() for each thread?

No. Env vars live in the address space of the process and thus are global to all threads of the process.
