OK... I decided that txtorcon's endpoint constructor should only take string arguments besides the reactor arg... because serverFromString passes only str args to the endpoint constructor.
I wrote the endpoint parser to be as simple as possible. The endpoint's `listen` method now handles the tor configuration and launch logic... and returns a deferred which will fire with an IListenPort. The pip method definitely works... my code works but prints traceback with this error: "Unexpected error while writing cache file" Do you as well? Here's my endpoint parser plugin: https://github.com/david415/txtorcon/blob/endpoint_parser_plugin-rewrite3/twisted/plugins/txtorcon_endpoint_parser.py Here's how I install it: cd ~/projects/virtualenv-1.11.5 ./virtualenv.py ~/virtenv-txtorcon . ~/virtenv-txtorcon/bin/activate usewithtor pip install twisted cd ~/projects git clone https://github.com/david415/txtorcon.git cd txtorcon git checkout endpoint_parser_plugin-rewrite3 python setup.py install Running the example code: cd examples python launch_tor_endpoint.py Unexpected error while writing cache file Traceback
