Great, thanks a lot for moving this forward!

I cloned your repo, installed python-stem, tried to run setup.py and
tormonitor.py and got errors for both.

How can I test this from Tails?

$ python setup.py

    requires=['stem','gi']
           ^

$ python tormonitor.py

If I quickly go through what's left from the Vidalia interface and I
could discuss the relevance of the following features:

  - Info about relays in the circuits.
  - Ability to close a circuit manually.
  - Ability to view logs from Tor without an administration password.
  - New identity (the one we have in Tor Browser does something
    different).
  - Bandwidth Graph.


Which one of those are you covering already or did you consider?
