    Avoid circular import error for the controller
    
    Python, I find your imports confusing. I put 'import stem.connection' at the
    end of control.py to avoid this (seems to work for the descriptors), but
    evidently didn't work. A simple hello-world script...
    
      import stem.control
    
      with stem.control.Controller.from_port() as controller:
        controller.authenticate()
        print controller.get_version()
    
    ... failed with...
    
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "scrap.py", line 1, in <module>
          import stem.control
        File "/home/atagar/Desktop/stem/stem/control.py", line 3647, in <module>
          import stem.connection
        File "/home/atagar/Desktop/stem/stem/connection.py", line 202, in <module>
          def connect(control_port = ('127.0.0.1', 'default'), control_socket = '/var/run/tor/control', password = None, password_prompt = False, chroot_path = None, controller = stem.control.Controller):
      AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'control'
