Description
I've been bouncing around tutorial ideas for...
https://stem.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html
... and the next that I'd like to go with is something I've been fondly titling "To Russia With Love". The task that it aims to complete is to write a script that starts a tor instance and fetches, say, Google's front page through Russia. This would walk the reader through a couple things:
- Starting tor via the stem.process module.
- Using the tor instance as a client (we'll likely need to add some methods to make this nicer!).

A python script that launches Tor and fetches google's home page from a russian exit relay. Internal documentation provided.

Thanks sreenatha (and I'm very sorry for not replying - your patch came in while I was busy juggling a few other things). Tor provides a torrc option that does exactly what we want, so there's no need to manually manage the circuits.
Just finished writing a tutorial for this...

I'm mentoring a hackfest in the first week of jan. This sounds like a fine task for someone to do at the hackfest. I'm going to assign this to myself for now.
