I implemented enough to download descriptors [2], but there's still a lot of room to grow [3].

Re: [tor-dev] New python Tor client implementation
Hi Damian, Sorry for the late reply. There are two things why I didn't use Stem. 1. A number of python implementations I've found on the internet had broken dependencies or didn't work at all. So, I decided to create a fully functional Tor client with the bare minimum of dependencies. 2. Up until now I thought Stem was just a library to control the Tor process. As it said at front of https://stem.torproject.org: "With it you can use Tor's control protocol to script against the Tor process". Unfortunately API docs didn't help me to see that certain Tor primitives were indeed implemented. >If you'd care to integrate any of this functionality into Stem I'd be >delighted to work with you. I didn't yet think about integration. It's always a matter of spare time. Anyway, you can freely use the code or send me bugs. In turn, I can help you to resolve the issues.

Re: [tor-dev] New python Tor client implementation
Thanks James, this is awesome! Very well done. Out of curiosity why sidestep any use of Stem? It supports encoding/decoding most tor cell types... Yours: https://github.com/torpyorg/torpy/blob/master/torpy/cells.py Mine: https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/stem/client/cell.py If you'd care to integrate any of this functionality into Stem I'd be delighted to work with you.
