   1. Modify CurrencyRates in the forex_python.converter module:

   import requests
   from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates as BaseCurrencyRates
   
   class CurrencyRates(BaseCurrencyRates):
       def __init__(self, session=None, proxies=None, verify_ssl=True):
           super().__init__()
           if session is None:
               session = requests.Session()
           if proxies is not None:
               session.proxies = proxies
           session.verify = verify_ssl
           self.session = session
   
       # ... rest of the class methods ...
   
   # This import ensures that the class is available when the module is imported
   CurrencyRates()

   2. Usage:

   from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates
   
   # Create a session with proxy settings and SSL verification turned off
   proxies = {
       'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080',
       'https': 'https://proxy.example.com:8080'
   }
   currency_rates = CurrencyRates(proxies=proxies, verify_ssl=False)
   
   # Now you can use the `currency_rates` object for your API calls

   Keep in mind that this approach involves modifying the library's code directly. If you choose to go this route, make sure to take care and consider the impact on future library updates.

   Alternatively, if modifying the library directly isn't desired, you could create a wrapper class that inherits from CurrencyRates and adds the desired functionality. This would allow you to achieve the desired behavior without modifying the original library code.

   Great workaround, thanks!
