Sure, that seems reasonable for now. Could you ensure that the TBB
team is aware of this downgrade?

Actually, looks like Mike is already on the case! [2]

 

BTW, on the long term, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to assume that
the internal networking API of obfsproxy is stable. It shouldn't
change frequently, but it wouldn't surprise me if it will need to
change again at some point.

Would it make sense to include in FTE the parts of obfsproxy you need?
Of course, this has other issues, like the fact that we will need to
fix obfsproxy bugs in FTE too.

I think this will be the best short-term solution, until we find a better way to refactor the common components into pyptlib or some other shared library.

 

Thanks and sorry for the troubles!

No worries.
