"""
Module for interacting with the Tor control socket. The
:class:`~stem.control.Controller` is a wrapper around a
:class:`~stem.socket.ControlSocket`, retaining many of its methods (connect,
close, is_alive, etc) in addition to providing its own for working with the
socket at a higher level.

Stem has `several ways <../faq.html#how-do-i-connect-to-tor>`_ of getting a
:class:`~stem.control.Controller`, but the most flexible are
:func:`~stem.control.Controller.from_port` and
:func:`~stem.control.Controller.from_socket_file`. These static
:class:`~stem.control.Controller` methods give you an **unauthenticated**
Controller you can then authenticate yourself using its
:func:`~stem.control.Controller.authenticate` method. For example...

::

  import getpass
  import sys

  import stem
  import stem.connection

  from stem.control import Controller

  if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
      controller = Controller.from_port()
    except stem.SocketError as exc:
      print("Unable to connect to tor on port 9051: %s" % exc)
      sys.exit(1)

    try:
      controller.authenticate()
    except stem.connection.MissingPassword:
      pw = getpass.getpass("Controller password: ")

      try:
        controller.authenticate(password = pw)
      except stem.connection.PasswordAuthFailed:
        print("Unable to authenticate, password is incorrect")
        sys.exit(1)
    except stem.connection.AuthenticationFailure as exc:
      print("Unable to authenticate: %s" % exc)
      sys.exit(1)

    print("Tor is running version %s" % controller.get_version())
    controller.close()

If you're fine with allowing your script to raise exceptions then this can be more nicely done as...

::

  from stem.control import Controller

  if __name__ == '__main__':
    with Controller.from_port() as controller:
      controller.authenticate()

      print("Tor is running version %s" % controller.get_version())
