Comment (by atagar):

 Quick other note that the bit where we monkey patch socket
 [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28035413/general-socks-server-
 failure-when-switching-identity-using-stem/28093743 is causing confusion]
 since people then try to combine this example with a controller
 connection. Monkey patching means the controller is routed over tor,
 naturally then being rejected.

 I've seen questions about this a few times now. Improvements to the
 example would be welcome.
