 Replying to [comment:1 kpdyer]:

 is just a cheap hack?

 There's two correct ways to use it.

 One would be to write your own networking code to provide the
 infrastructure being pulled in from obfsproxy (The equivalent of the
 `obfsproxy.transports.base.BaseTransport` code).

 The other would be to do what ScrambleSuit did and use obfsproxy for
 everything (See #11354).  This will probably be easier from a development
 standpoint, but there is a licensing conflict since all the FTE code is
 GPLed, and I'm not sure how asn feels about adding a dependency to libfte
 that includes native code to obfsproxy.
