Comment (by atagar):

 Hi Roger. There certainly is a sharp uptick in these reports over the last
 couple days which begs the question: what changed?

 This bug was originally reported by teor on #30882 but I was unable to
 reproduce this issue with python 3.5. I'm not positive what's up, but I
 **suspect** it's something like the following...

 * This bug only occurs with new python versions (3.8?).
 * Python 2.x is [https://pythonclock.org/ discontinuing at the end of
 2019].
 * A popular linux distribution (probably Debian and Ubuntu) finally made
 the python 3.x switch and picked the latest interpreter, causing the sharp
 uptick of this issue from 'obscure' to 'frequent'.

 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32525#comment:3 I plan to
 release Stem 1.8 in December], concluding our Python 2.x support and
 Stem's 1.x series. [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31823
 Hidden service v3 support] is not mature enough to cut a stable release
 right now.

 I hate to hotfix when we're so near another release but if folks would
 like I **could** provide a Stem 1.7.2 release with this
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/commit/?id=b5aecb7 one line fix].
 However, if I'm correct that the uptick in these reports are coming from a
 new linux distribution this likely won't resolve confusion (due to
 debian's glacial pace). That said, it **would** change the steps to fix
 this from...

 {{{
 % git clone https://git.torproject.org/stem.git
 % cd stem
 % sudo python setup.py --install
 }}}

 ... to...

 {{{
 % sudo pip install --upgrade stem
 }}}

 Would folks prefer a hotfix or to wait for the Stem 1.8 release?
