I think this would be a nice feature. This way we could provide both anonymity and access to .onion resources (as those used e.g. in Skynet botnet). Would you like to implement a SOCKS proxy interface for routing connections through an external TOR client, or would you rather like TOR to be running inside buttinsky?
I'd say running Tor "inside" Buttinsky would be overkill so I'd go with the SOCKS proxy approach.
Shall I just create another Socket
object using Socksipy http://sourceforge.net/projects/socksipy/ or better https://github.com/Anorov/PySocks ?
Oh, and obviously load settings from config file.
Haven't used either of them so feel free to select what you think suits you best.
I have used http://code.google.com/p/socksipy-branch/ as it could be installed with easy_install socksipy-branch
. I still have to write the code to load proxy type, host and port from configuration file.
This looks very good Andrea. I'll start adding tests this weekend and use Travis for build testing.
Add optional TOR support to the network layer
