Hey Damian,
(I hope I got replying to digest right this time around).
Thanks for all the feedback and assistance so far, it's an immense help.

The closest thing possible at the moment, I imagine, is:
circ1 = new_circuit( [] )
... getting nodes on the path ...
circ2 = new_circuit( [circ1_node_1, circ1_node_2, desired_exit_node] )

Actually #7632 caught my eye from the very beginning as an interesting project,
but the issue holding me back from mentioning it is that it's not just a matter of
mere implementation, but also researching the right solution, and only then
assessing e.g. how much time it would take.
That being said, I'm really interested in this one and if I gather more intel on the
matter in the following days I'll definitely get back to it.
#8780 Sounds like fun, I thought about alternatives since I am not a biggest fan of
horizontal drop down submenus but I couldn't find a better way to get a quick
overview of the module insides, so I'm planning on including this one in
application.
Next on comes Controller.assign_upcoming_stream() (working name), skipping
adding this functionality, especially since I'm already in the process of getting
some hands-on experience just seems like a missed opportunity.
Both #8248 and #8257 require some more research on my part and I'm looking
forward to taking them on.
As for ports from arm, I'm really excited about torrc parser because I never really
got around to write a porper config parser and finally there's a good reason for it.
connections.py looks interesting, doing *nix specific tasks is nice for a change,
since I'm dealing with win32api much more often.
Coupled with tutorial ideas how is the above shaping for a project proposal?
Do you think there's enough to make it a busy summer?
Regards,
Tom
