Yes, please also release early and release often. I'm very interested
in the ability to mess around with Tor circuits easily by dupping
cells, modifying fields, and so on to look for side channels and other
ways to watermark circuits (and develop scanning mechanisms to detect
this, of course). A python implementation is likely to be a lot more
fungible to this type of stuff than the C one is.
