[Python] Why Tor cant access localhost pages

I have Tor running and a python script to get web pages:

socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 9050)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket

print urllib2.urlopen(URL).read()


However, if the URL is

http://localhost/some_page.html


I get the following error:

raise Socks5Error(ord(resp[1]),_generalerrors[ord(resp[1])])
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)


Can someone explain to me what exactly happens?

Thank you.
