Comment(by atagar):

 Hi Sathyanarayanan. That would be a fine start for a feature branch but
 I'd rather not merge it until we have something a bit more complete and
 with tests.

 Btw, on first glance your parser will break when it encounters blank
 lines...

 {{{
 with open(torrc_path) as torrc_fh:
   for line in torrc_fh.readlines():
     line = line.strip()
     if line.startswith('#'):
       continue
     else:
       key, val = line.split(' ')
       torrc[key] = val
 }}}

 {{{
 >>> line = ""
 >>> if line.startswith('#'):
 ...   pass
 ... else:
 ...   key, val = line.split(' ')
 ...
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
 ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
 }}}
