This will work fine for the txsocksx tor client endpoint parser I wrote... However the txtorcon Tor Hidden Service endpoint setup requires a deferred to fire once the tor process is started... This means that the endpoint parser needs to return a deferred.

I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle; instead of starting the tor process during parsing of the endpoint, I think it would make more sense to start the tor process when the endpoint is started. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
