Python Port Scanner using TOR

Question

I just want to know is it possible to scan ports on TOR network with python. I wrote a port scanner script but it keeps returning socket error. Why does it not work and any solutions?

import socket
import sys
import requests
import socks
from datetime import datetime
from colorama import init, Fore, Style
import subprocess

init(autoreset=True)
subprocess.call('clear', shell=True)



print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "START AT:", (datetime.now()))
print("=============COREXITAL PORT SCANNER=============")
print("")
target = input("Enter IP Address:  ")
hack = socket.gethostbyname(target)

proxy = {
    'http':  'socks5://localhost:9050',
    'https': 'socks5://localhost:9050',
}


print("Starting at: ")

t1 = datetime.now()
print(t1)
print("LOADING...")
r = requests.get('http://wtfismyip.com/text')
print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.BLUE + "CURRENT IP:", r.text) #prints my ordinary IP address
print("")

def starthack():
    print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "CONNECTING TOR....")
    print("")
    socks.set_default_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, '127.0.0.1' , 9050)
    socket.socket = socks.socksocket
    r = requests.get('http://wtfismyip.com/text')
    print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.BLUE + "CONNECTED VIA:", r.text)
    if r.status_code == 200:
        print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "PROXY STATUS:", Style.BRIGHT + Fore.GREEN + "OK")
    else:
        print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "PROXY STATUS:", Style.BRIGHT + Fore.RED + "BAD")
    print("")
    print("STARTING PROCESS.....")

    try:
        for port in range(1, 100):
            hacking = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
            hacking.settimeout(10)
            result = hacking.connect_ex((hack, port))
            if result ==0:
                print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "PORT:", port, Style.BRIGHT + Fore.GREEN + "    OPEN")
                hacking.close()
                print(datetime.now())

            else:
                print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "PORT:", port, Style.BRIGHT + Fore.RED +"    CLOSED")
                hacking.close()
                print(datetime.now())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print(t1)
        print("Canceled")
        sys.exit()

    except socket.gaierror:
        print(t1)
        print("Hostname could not be resolved. Exiting")
        sys.exit()
    except socket.error:
        print(t1)
        print("Error")
        print("ERROR")
        sys.exit()
starthack()

print("")
print(Style.BRIGHT + Fore.YELLOW + "END OF REPORT")
print("2023 - Corexital")

You have an error: not socks5 - but actual http and https - Tor provides a built-in HTTPS proxy like polipo
