Twisted-based asynchronous Tor control protocol implementation. Includes unit-tests, examples, state-tracking code and configuration abstraction.
Since 0.19.0 `get_info` commands will return unicode values instead of strings. It could be that other people would also be a bit surprised by this fact, so at the very...
This has bandwidth, unmeasured maybe other things.
In the FreeBSD port we only need to install docs and examples when corresponding port options are chosen. Currently, we have to patch setup.py to achieve this. It would have...
As found by @aagbsn and @DonnchaC from bwscanner work, if you change `UseMicrodescriptors` the list of routers will be empty until a NEWCONSENSUS event arrives. `TorConfig` should probably snoop for...
It might be useful to have a convenience method for "wait for a single event of X". (e.g. bwscanner wants/needs to wait for a NEWCONSENSUS event after changing the config...
If Tor is dormant and txtorcon connects and tries to build a circuit, this may fail with `552 no descriptor for X` because Tor still fetches enough consensus to know...
Some applications want to set up endpoints (e.g. for Onion services or client connections) before doing any "async stuff". This means they can't yet have a `Tor` instance, because that...
I'm updating magic-wormhole to use the new txtorcon APIs, and I noticed one difference between the `_is_non_public_numeric_address()` function in txtorcon and the one in magic-wormhole that inspired it. The magic-wormhole...
Our notion of the current list of guard nodes will become out of sync unless we use the `GUARD` event to notice guards going up and down.
atagar tells me in #tor-dev that "contact" and "platform" in descriptors can take arbitrary bytes. Everything else from tor-control is ASCII. But those two special cases _can_ leak through if...
