 Makes sense.

 moving on to next. I have precious little time and soon will have even
 less. Pyonionoo might be too ambitious for me along with a fulltime job.

 That also makes sense.  After all, the Java Onionoo is in a pretty good
 shape, it's just sad that the language prevents people from contributing.
 But it should be a fun project to rewrite it in Python, not an endless
 time sink.

 Anyway, Onionoo really needs testing.  Given that there's no Pyonionoo on
 the horizon, I decided to
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/onionoo.git/commitdiff/674a50b write unit
 tests in Java/JUnit].  Want to take a look and give me some feedback?  I'm
 planning to write similar unit tests for the parts of Onionoo that parse
 descriptors and produce details/bandwidth/weights files that Onionoo later
 hands out.

 Making this an Onionoo task, because that seems more relevant now than
 Pyonionoo.
