using proxy with scrapy-splash

Question

I\'m trying to use proxy (proxymesh) alongside scrapy-splash. I have following (relevant) code

PROXY = \"\"\"splash:on_request(function(request)
    request:

You should add 'proxy' argument to SplashRequest object.

def start_requests(self):
    for url in self.start_urls:
        print url
        yield SplashRequest(url, self.parse,
            endpoint='execute',
            args={'wait': 5,
                  'lua_source': PROXY,
                  'js_source': 'document.body',
                  'proxy': 'http://proxy_ip:proxy_port'}
