Erring on the side of "release early, release often" I have put my
Twisted-based (asynchronous, Python) Tor control protocol
implementation online:

   http://readthedocs.org/docs/txtorcon/en/latest/
   https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon

It is MIT licensed (to match Twisted). I would certainly not consider
it "done", and I made it to learn more about Twisted and Python --
criticisms, comments appreciated.

Currently it has the following features (see the above-linked
documentation for more, and examples):

 . TorControlProtocol implements the control protocol
 . TorState tracks the state of Tor (streams, circuits, routers, address-map), listening for updates
 . TorConfig provides read/write configuration access , with HS abstraction (still needs some work)
 . IStringAttacher, a stream-to-circuit attacher interface for new streams
 . launch_tor can launch slave Tor processes
 . integrates into Twisted's endpoints with TCPHiddenServiceEndpoint

The main code is about 1600 LOC, ~4000 with tests and 25% comments
(according to ohcount). There is currently 98% test coverage, if one
believes code-coverage is a good metric.

In the short-term, be aware that I'm planning to re-organize where
things are in files. If you "import txtorcon" and use the classes like
"txtorcon.TorConfig" it will all still work.

Thanks for your attention,
mike
