 > Update from my side: I have updated the client to use pyptlib and
 twisted and txsocksx. There are a few more things to tidy up, such as a
 better CLI, and async error handling using Deferreds; otherwise it is
 more-or-less production-complete.

 Thanks, I have merged your changes. For what it's worth, it's not running
 for me, using pyptlib [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/pyptlib.git/commit/39d2a4fe37e1861b738fef8f620aab24ad361962
 39d2a4fe] from 17 August.
 {{{
 obfs-flash/mkii$ ./obfs-flash-client
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./obfs-flash-client", line 8, in <module>
     from pyptlib.client import ClientTransportPlugin
 ImportError: cannot import name ClientTransportPlugin
 }}}

 > I could also factor out the CMETHOD read loop into the pyptlib library,
 as a twisted Protocol, since other plugins might want to use it.

 My preference is not to move it to pyptlib (assume
 [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?YouArentGonnaNeedIt YAGNI]). If it turns out later
 to be a good idea to move the functionality into a library, let's let it
 have been prototyped in a shipping application first.
