It was great meeting everyone in Reykjavík! February largely went toward GSoC prep. Thanks to everybody that sent me project ideas!

This left a lot less time than I'd like for coding. The only noteworthy changes this month were...
* Added a new 'stem.util.test_tools' module for easily running Pyflakes and PEP8 checks...
https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/stem/util/test_tools.py
Stem, ExitMap, and arm all do these checks as part of their tests so this let them shed quite a bit of boilerplate.
Want these checks for your own project? It's easy, so give it a try!

* Stem tutorial example for checking the Tor exits you're using for your connections...

* Couple new Controller methods for checking where Tor is listening for connections of a given type...

for listener_type in stem.control.Listener:
... ports = map(str, controller.get_ports(listener_type)) ... print "%s ports: %s" % (listener_type, ', '.join(ports)) ... OR ports: DIR ports: SOCKS ports: 9050 TRANS ports: NATD ports: DNS ports: CONTROL ports: 2779
* Gave Sphinx's aafig module a try to see if it could improve our API overviews...

In the end I decided against it since this doesn't add much, and it causes us to render the overview as a svg (so users can't copy/paste function names).
* Sent Philipp some improvements for ExitMap...
