 ./install fails with this super-cryptic output:

      print "TorCtl successfully installed"
                                          ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 The hotfix was to edit the install script and
 put "python2" instead of "python". Other distros
 of course may need it differently and I was told
 there is a way of supporting python versions
 properly.

 Also, it is a bit rough style to install into /usr
 as if it was an apt-get. Manually installed stuff
 usually goes to /usr/local to not confuse the package
 management of whatever OS. In my case I would have
 wanted to provide my own prefix.
