performance questions can be answered by creating a dummy pluggable
transport proxy and doing stress tests on it.
Oh great, sounds like a good portion of the suggested discussion has
already taken place.
So, regarding performance evaluation, what do we expect to be the
performance bottleneck? Is it handling hundreds of connections, doing
crypto, or something else? Is the plan to implement obfs2 in Python and
comparing performance to the C obfsproxy, or something different?
Is there already a ticket for this performance evaluation, or should I
create one? What's a reasonable deadline for this task (April 30?) and
who would do the work?

py2exe result in 30MB .exe files.

Is there already a ticket for evaluating installer size? If not, who
would I assign a newly created ticket to and what would be a reasonable
deadline (April 30?)?

Without reading that thread in detail, are there any other aspects that
need discussion and/or evaluation with respect to "pyfsprxy?"
