Hi Jean-Paul, Thanks for the suggestions. OK... here's my SSCCE:
cd projects/virtualenv-1.11.1/ ./virtualenv.py ~/virtenv-endpoints-test . ~/virtenv-endpoints-test/bin/activate usewithtor pip install twisted cd ~/projects git clone https://github.com/david415/txsocksx.git cd txsocksx git checkout endpoint_parsers usewithtor python setup.py install cd examples # CWD is now /home/human/projects/txsocksx/examples cp tor_client_endpoint_parser.py /home/human/virtenv-endpoints-test/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/plugins find /home/human/virtenv-endpoints-test/ -name "*.pyc" | xargs rm find /home/human/virtenv-endpoints-test/ -name "dropin.cache" | xargs rm python tor-http.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "tor-http.py", line 32, in <module> torEndpoint = clientFromString(reactor, "tor:host=timaq4ygg2iegci7.onion:port=80") File "/home/human/virtenv-endpoints-test/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/endpoints.py", line 1737, in clientFromString raise ValueError("Unknown endpoint type: %r" % (aname,)) ValueError: Unknown endpoint type: 'tor' I also tried the PYTHONPATH trick: mkdir -p fu/twisted/plugins cp tor_client_endpoint_parser.py fu/twisted/plugins PYTHONPATH=/home/projects/txsocks/examples/fu python tor-http.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "tor-http.py", line 32, in <module> torEndpoint = clientFromString(reactor, "tor:host=timaq4ygg2iegci7.onion:port=80") File "/home/human/virtenv-endpoints-test/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/endpoints.py", line 1737, in clientFromString raise ValueError("Unknown endpoint type: %r" % (aname,)) ValueError: Unknown endpoint type: 'tor' I wonder if I am having a deployment problem here or if my code has got problems. https://github.com/david415/txsocksx/blob/endpoint_parsers/examples/tor_client_endpoint_parser.py https://github.com/david415/txsocksx/blob/endpoint_parsers/examples/tor-http.py Cheers!
