pybtracker

pybtracker is a UDP BitTorrent tracker written in Python 3.5 using co-routines and the asyncio module. You can use the tracker in a script like this:

::

import asyncio from pybtracker import TrackerServer

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() tracker = TrackerServer(local_addr=('127.0.0.1', 8000), loop=loop) asyncio.ensure_future(tracker.start()) try: loop.run_forever() except KeyboardInterrupt: loop.run_until_complete(tracker.stop())

It also includes a UDP tracker client:

::

import asyncio from pybtracker import TrackerClient

async def announce(): client = TrackerClient(announce_uri='udp://127.0.0.1:8000', loop=loop) await client.start() peers = await client.announce( b'01234567890123456789', # infohash 10000, # downloaded 40000, # left 5000, # uploaded 0, # event (0=none) 120 # number of peers wanted ) print(peers)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(announce())

You can run the server independently by running:

::

$ python -m pybtracker.server -b 127.0.0.1:8000 -O

The client can also be run independently and it provides you with a shell to interact with the server:

::

$ python -m pybtracker.client udp://127.0.0.1:8000 BitTorrent tracker client. Type help or ? to list commands.

(btrc) help Documented commands (type help ):

EOF announce connect help quit

(btrc) quit $

If you have installed pybtracker using pip or setup.py, you can also run pybtracker and pybtracker-client instead of using python -m.
