commit cf046f4ff74ebdff829dbab8c3cf947e0fd6625a Author: Damian Johnson <atagar@torproject.org> Date: Sat May 23 12:28:15 2015 -0700 Avoid circular import error for the controller Python, I find your imports confusing. I put 'import stem.connection' at the end of control.py to avoid this (seems to work for the descriptors), but evidently didn't work. A simple hello-world script... import stem.control with stem.control.Controller.from_port() as controller: controller.authenticate() print controller.get_version() ... failed with...
