[tor-dev] Python Only Tor Client?

Hi all, does anyone know of any work to make a Python Only Tor Client, that just enable to expose a Tor Hidden Service? It would be very cool if it would be possible to avoid "Tor binary" as a dependency for Globaleaks, making it pure Python application code. The questions are: - Are there projects that foresee to do something like that? - From a Tor Project perspective, does it make sense? - From a Security perspective, are there strong security implications in doing so? -- Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) HERMES - Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights http://logioshermes.org - http://globaleaks.org - http://tor2web.org
