Writing our own parser seems goofy.
Then again, I'm a goofy guy, and though the format's kinda ugly, I've seen much worse.

If we use this thing, we should move it over into src/config in Tor.
It needs more hacking and testing, but at least it's pure python.
This is great!
I started trying it out and reviewing it. I'm planning to improve it this week until it writes geoip and geoip6 files that we can then place into src/config/. (And I'm thinking about using the same file in Onionoo and dropping city information there, for simplicity.)
Thanks for starting this!
All the best, Karsten
