Comment (by atagar):

 Hi justaguy. Arm's check to see 'is TorCtl available?' is to simply run
 'import TorCtl'...

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/arm.git/blob/e249dc8f5c4c282326324161cf8421f947cf660e:/src/prereq.py#l26

 If you run 'python' to get in interpretor and run 'import TorCtl' does it
 work? If you run 'python --version' what does it say? My guess is that
 you're using python 3, but arm and torctl both use python 2.

 If that is that case then I have mixed feelings. On one hand yay,
 platforms are *finally* moving to python 3! But on the other boo, they're
 gonna be breaking a lotta stuff! ;)

 > some people told me arm depends on python-socksipy, so i did
 > sudo apt-get install python-socksipy

 Nope, they're wrong. Arm doesn't use python-socksipy.
