Issue with SocksiPy and Tor in Python3 about fec-dataset-loader

[SonerAbay]

Hi, when I try to attempt step 3 in the README I run into the following error:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

It appears this is an issue with using SocksiPy with Tor in Python3. However, downloading socks.py to the working directory per this suggestion on SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21357909/socksipy-fails-when-connecting-throug-tor
doesn't help, it appears that the socks.py script is not compatible with Python3.

What environment did you use to run this downloader for yourself? Thanks.

First
pip3 uninstall SocksiPy_branch

Then
pip3 install PySocks

solves the problem
