I'm attempting to control Tor with Python. I've read a couple of the other questions asked about this subject on stackoverflow but none of them answer this question.
I'm looking for a method to have tor give you a 'new identity', a new IP address, when the command is run. I've googled around and found the TorCtl module as a method for controlling tor, but can't find a way to get a new identity. Here's what I have so far for atleast connecting to tor, but can't get any farther.
from TorCtl import TorCtl
conn = TorCtl.connect(controlAddr="127.0.0.1", controlPort=9051, passphrase="123")
Any help on this is appreciated, if there are other modules better then TorCtl that'd be great too! Thank you!
Well, out of luck I managed to find a PHP script that did the exact same thing I wanted, and with the help of that I converted it to work in TorCtl. This is what it looks like for anyone else needing it in the future!
from TorCtl import TorCtl
conn = TorCtl.connect(controlAddr="127.0.0.1", controlPort=9051, passphrase="123")
TorCtl.Connection.send_signal(conn, "NEWNYM")
