 Our client usage tutorial
 ([https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/to_russia_with_love.html To Russia
 With Love]) is reportedly incompatible with certain SocksiPy versions.

 The tutorial works with the standard SocksiPy Version 1.4.2 as well as
 Version 1.0 but not version [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SocksiPy-
 branch/1.01 1.01]...
