Changing computer's IP address through terminal python?

I am working on a python program on my Mac.

I am wondering if there's a way to change a web proxy without accessing system preferences.

So far, I have tried

export http_proxy=http://216.56.48.118:8080/

Is there any way to type in a terminal and set a computer's web proxy? (Should be repeatable)

It would be good to clarify your aim here, because "proxy" and "computer's IP address" are very different things. What is your end goal?

Note that, even if you're connecting to your local network through a proxy, your external IP address will not change because it's the NAT IP address of the router.

I am trying to set IP web proxies. But, the observed IP address is supposed to change on that lookup site.

I think you're confusing proxies with VPNs
