Hi Karsten, hi Sathyanarayanan.
Over the last couple weeks I've been making a variety of fixes to stem and its tests. It now runs with python 2.5 and doesn't require tor to be in your path, among other things. However, the hanging issue remains and I'm pretty stuck there. It isn't strictly stem related (I can reproduce the issue with plan sockets), hopefully Nick will have some ideas...

Karsten, should the 'dirreq-v3-share' percentage values be able to go above 100%? The extra-info descriptors that I just fetched has one such entry, which makes stem's descriptor parser complain...

Cheers! -Damian
