Let us know if/when obfsproxy runs on CentOS.
Why would anyone want to use CentOS? Obviously this is a rhetorical question since there isn't a good reason to use CentOS instead of say Debian... AND if someone gave me access to thousands of CentOS servers for the purpose of running tor relays I would immediately want to change their distro to Debian.
Even better, if/when it is back to being written in C, instead of version-specfic Python. That will increase obfsproxy use more than any heartfelt request.
um yeah sure... it may even perform faster... but there are other considerations in choosing a language to development in. Is C considered a secure language? Is it easy to write "secure" code in C? No... it's not. Also development time is generally longer.
Right now there are lots of pluggable transports being written for the obfsproxy python api; here are some of them: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports
We need a low development time for writing PTs... because all the current PTs in theory could get blocked by fascist censorship regimes.... and then we'll have to write new PTs or modify existing PTs.

Lastly, if you are not already running the obfsproxy pluggable transport[1] (i.e. obfs3) on your bridge, please follow the Debian instructions[2] (for a Debian-based system) on the website and install it.
