Comment (by atagar):

 Interesting! The module which downloads descriptors from DirPorts doesn't
 require a tor binary and things like DocTor don't presently have one.
 However, if you think this is the best way to go it certainly would be a
 neat capability to have even if it does have that dependency.

 Ideal would be a pure python example of downloading a descriptor from a
 relay's ORPort but if that's extra tricky certainly, a python example of
 doing this via the tor binary would be much appreciated. Thanks!
