Download gz file using python request module

Here is the quick script I wrote to download a gz file using python requests module:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import requests
import gzip
import logging
import sys
import StringIO
import zlib

# setup logging
logging.basicConfig(stream = sys.stdout, level = logging.ERROR)
log = logging.getLogger('threat-feeds-logger')

#proxy configuration
proxy_host='10.1.1.11'
proxy_port=3128
proxy_user = 'xxxx'
proxy_password = 'xxxx'

feed_url = 'https://foo.org/foo.gz'
proxy_dict = {
                'http':'http://%s:%s@%s:%s' % (proxy_user, proxy_password, proxy_host, proxy_port),
                'https':'http://%s:%s@%s:%s' % (proxy_user, proxy_password, proxy_host, proxy_port)
            }
try:
    response = requests.get(feed_url,proxies = proxy_dict)
except Exception as e:
    log.error("Error while getting data from url - %s" %feed_url)

if response.status_code == 200:
    buf_data = StringIO.StringIO(response.content)
    f = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=buf_data)
    for row in f.readlines():
       print row
