commit 670f403bb3f5df82cf7d16d938e4b37ddfd09917 Merge: e810cc09 2192228e Author: Damian Johnson atagar@torproject.org Date: Tue Nov 20 13:38:13 2018 -0800

Descriptor.from_str() method

As requested by irl [1] adding a from_str() method to our Descriptor class, similar to ControlMessage's from_str() [2].

This method makes it much simpler to parse descriptors from byte strings. Unlike parse_file() this defaults to providing a single descriptor, with a 'multiple = True' flag that should be provided if your content has more than one...

my_server_descriptor = RelayServerDescriptor.from_str(content)

consensus_relays = NetworkStatusDocumentV3.from_str(consensus_content, multiple = True)
