Hi all,
is anyone willing to talk me through getting Obfsproxy working on
OSX10.4? I've got as far as Step 3 on
https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-instructions.html.en#instructions
but can't find the Obfsproxy binary; and since I have no idea what 'pip'
does, even though it reports the 'package' as installed, I am at a loss.

Have you tried looking in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
, or the $PYTHONPATH used by your package manager / python install?

I wouldn't have known about (and still don't) $PYTHONPATH - I don't use
Python for anything else, it's just a black box to me.
I did find obfsproxy at
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/obfsproxy
eventually (I was expecting something larger than 401 bytes) and have
made a symlink from /usr/bin/ to ease access.
Now that I can run it, will it be ok running as the same user as my
(unpriviliged) Tor process?

I assume the 
ServerTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/local/bin/obfsproxy managed
line in the torrc will result in obfsproxy running as a child process?
