Controller.from_port doesn't handle Docker Compose network

[grvn-ht]

Hey Stem Team!
Really nice work ongoing here,

I would like to propose a new feature for:
stem.control.Controller.from_port(address, port)

Right now address needs to be an IPV4, however, inside docker-compose, you can call a container by it's name.

Therefor we could imagine a class who overwrites the @staticmethod from_port:

class Docker_Controller(Controller):
@staticmethod
def from_port(address = 'tor', port = 9051):
import stem.connection
control_port = stem.socket.ControlPort(address, port)
return Controller(control_port)

Here is an implementation's example:
https://github.com/grvn-ht/torproxy_docker_compose

Hope it will be of help,

Regards

Hi G-ht, I'm glad you like the library!

I already added the feature you propose (IPv6 support in the from_port() method) but it's not in any releases. I moved on from Tor so Stem has become unmaintained.

As discussed on another ticket you'll need to contact 'gk at torproject dot org' if you'd care for this to change.

Cheers! -Damian
