If such a project ever got going then I'd be interested in helping out. Stem already provides a python implementation of many Tor data types (descriptors, exit policies, controller messages), providing quite a bit to bootstrap with. I'd love to see a project that uses small C modules for libevent and crypto, but shifts the bulk of descriptor and controller handling to a higher level language (be it Python, Go, or whatever). Oh well. I can dream. :) _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
