Comment(by eoinof):

 Of the changes I proposed
  - This whitespace problem is a bugfix. [I've split it out from the
 updated descriptor]
 https://github.com/eoinof/stem/commit/c9663bf5f2639fee7867f418ddeadd614f4e4cdb

 The python-crypto lib is not builtin but it is included in ubuntu & debian
 by default.

 I've added more info on the signature verification in the code comments
 this time, and you can read more about it here:
 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2313.txt

 https://github.com/eoinof/stem/commit/269587c646e7841d0c6fee914e2a8deabbe89fe5
 I've ignored the verification failure so all unit tests will still pass.
