Make Tor use Unique IP for each instance open

Question

How can I get Tor to use a unique IP for each instance of Tor open in C++, Python or Perl? Is there a command to force it to use a unique IP that I can just call using subprocess?

You'll need to connect to ToR's control port and issue certain signals to have it create a new connection. You might have to manually check what the end IP is.

This document has some example code in Java and Python for interfacing with ToR along with some of the signals and how to use them. The one you're looking for is probably NEWNYM, but it's not brought up in the linked document. With a little bit of googling, you may be able to find more info on controlling ToR via its control port.
