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 <topic>): ======================================== 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.
