I'm excited to announce txtorcon 0.10.0 which adds support for
Twisted's endpoint strings.

This means that ANY Twisted program that uses endpoints can accept
"onion:" strings to bring up a hidden services easily (by launching a
new Tor instance). Typically, no code changes to the application
should be needed (just "pip install txtorcon").

"twistd" supports endpoints, so for example to serve some Web content
from ~/public_html as a hidden-serivce, we can do this (with txtorcon
installed):

   twistd web --port onion:80 --path ~/public_html

Some examples of other valid "onion:" endpoint strings:

   onion:80:hiddenServiceDir=/dev/shm/hidsrv
   onion:80:controlPort=9050:hiddenServiceDir=/srv/hidden

The first allows specifying existing hidden service keys and the
second says to connect to an already-running Tor instance.

Thanks to David Stainton (dawuud) for the initial pull-request (and
continued collaboration) that made this happen. There is a complete
demonstration of the power of this Fully Operational endpoint-station
here:

You can download the release from PyPI or GitHub (or of course use
"pip install txtorcon"):
