Description

config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/sbin/tor-controlport-filter’s communication with Tor can probably be simplified by using stem. This may be particularly valuable if we ever extend the filter to support more commands. Otherwise it’s a nice (but low priority) refactoring in itself.

python-stem is available in wheezy-backports.

Should there be a sub-ticket about the backport?

Yes, with type of work = Debian. Yay, one more thing to do within Debian :)

As much I like python-stem, having worked on control-port-filter-python recently, I doubt python-stem is of help.

I agree for the most part, but it definitely is good for the async stuff, e.g. subscribing to events via SETEVENTS, to the point where I think it’s worth it. See the feature/7870-include_onionshare branch, which incidentally solves this ticket too (thanks for reminding me about it!).
