Comment:

 A bunch of completed milestones
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gsathya/pyonionoo.git/shortlog/refs/heads/backend)

 - Parse consensus

 I've written a simple consensus parser -
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gsathya/pyonionoo.git/blob/refs/heads/backend:/backend/main.py#l14

 neena is working on a network status descriptor parser for stem and once
 that's completed, I'll use that.

 The consensus is parsed and the data is stored in a
 "Router"(https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gsathya/pyonionoo.git/blob/refs/heads/backend:/backend/router.py#l4)
 object.

 - GeoIP lookups

 Use pygeoip to parse Maxmind's GeoIP database.

 - Reverse DNS lookups

 Use threads
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gsathya/pyonionoo.git/blob/refs/heads/backend:/backend/util.py)
 to find the hostnames
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gsathya/pyonionoo.git/blob/refs/heads/backend:/backend/main.py#l49)

 Next Up -
 I'm going to read and parse the server descriptors using stem.
