In the hope to help others with a Pi, here my experiences with setting
up obfs2 and obfs3.

While running/using Tor 0.2.4.16-rc build from source, I wanted the
obfs2 and obfs3 'extensions'. I could have tried to follow the
instructions for Debian based systems:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-debian-instructions.html.en#instructions
but I didn't, I started with the 'build from source' plan:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-instructions.html.en#instructions
This didn't work for me. Although Python 2.7 was already installed on
Raspbian, after getting apt-get to install python-pip, apt also
installed python2.6-minimal and python2.6. So, I tried to make the
binary with `pip install obfsproxy`. The result was there was no binary
(forgot the error message). I pulled the source from git (git clone
https://git.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/obfsproxy.git) and
created the binary (python setup.py install). The binary was there, but
after setting up Tor (ServerTransportPlugin obfs2,obfs3 exec
/usr/bin/obfsproxy managed) I noticed that the binary was broken. What I
then did was removing Python 2.6 (dpkg -P python2.6-minimal  python2.6 
python-pip) , removed the source files (rm -Rf /var/log/tor/build/
/usr/src/obfsproxy/) , did a new git clone and created the binary again
(python setup.py install). Then, all was OK and the obfs2 and obfs3
bridges work!

Best regards
