torf provides a Torrent and a Magnet class.
torf-cli and torf-gui provide user interfaces for torf.
This project started as a fork of dottorrent but turned into a rewrite.
- Create a
Torrentinstance from a path to the torrent's content or by reading an existing.torrentfile - High-level access to standard metainfo fields via properties
- Low-level access to arbitrary metainfo fields via
metainfoproperty - Optional metainfo validation with helpful error messages
- Generate a BTIH magnet URI from a
.torrentfile (the reverse is also possible but the resulting torrent is incomplete due to the lack of information in magnet URIs) - Use multiple CPU cores to compute piece hashes
- Randomize the info hash to help with cross-seeding
- Conveniently re-use piece hashes from an existing torrent file
from torf import Torrent
t = Torrent(path='path/to/content',
trackers=['https://tracker1.example.org:1234/announce',
'https://tracker2.example.org:5678/announce'],
comment='This is a comment')
t.private = True
t.generate()
t.write('my.torrent')Everything should be explained in the docstrings. Read it with pydoc3
torf.Torrent or pydoc3 torf.Magnet.
Documentation is also available at torf.readthedocs.io or torf.readthedocs.io/en/latest for the development version.
torf is available on PyPI.
The latest development version is in the master branch on GitHub.
I consider this project feature complete, but feel free to request new features or improvements. Bug reports are always welcome, of course.
