[tor-dev] GSoC : Rewrite Tor Weather (Status Update 1)

[Sreenatha Bhatlapenumarthi <sreenatha.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

So here is my first update on the work regarding weather rewrite.

1. (#12085) Develop python wrapper for Onionoo services. Made an initial python wrapper to be used for fetching Onionoo documents. It currently supports request-response caching to decrease the latency(picked up from OnionPy).
   
2. (#11956) Wrote a simple script for searching for relays matching user's query. This functionality is to be implemented in the rewritten weather as well. Modified it to use the new Onionoo wrapper instead of 'urllib' module for fetching response from Onionoo.
   
3. (#9889) Rewrote the previous tshirt script, making use of the new Onionoo wrapper.

Future work

1. Add and expand the features provided by the Onionoo wrapper. Currently in the process of adding utility methods for backend scripts that use Onionoo data.
   
2. Test the Onionoo wrapper
3. Write the remaining backend scripts(hourly, daily) etc described in the wiki at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/weather-in-2014
   

Most of my work can be found at https://github.com/lucyd/tor-weather.
Please feel free to provide feedback of any sort.

Cheers,
Sreenatha
