+#    THIS MODULE IS OBSOLETE!
+#
+#    There is a "TorCtl.py" module in the "control" directory in Tor CVS;
+#    this new module supports the new ('version 1') Tor controller protocol
+#    and has a far nicer and more object-oriented design than this module does.
+#
+#    No further support will be done on this module.
