In case you have a proxy configured at your environment, define it at your session/request as well.

For example with session:

    my_proxies = {

        'https': 'https://myproxy:8080'

    request = requests.Request('POST', 'http://my.domain.com', data=params_template, headers=req_headers, proxies=my_proxies)  
    prepped = session.prepare_request(request)  
    response = session.send(prepped)
