aioslsk 1.3.1

Asyncio based SoulSeek client

aioslsk is a Python library for the SoulSeek protocol built on top of asyncio.

Supported Python versions are currently 3.8 - 3.12

You can find the full documentation here

Installation

pip install aioslsk

Quick Start

Starting the client and sending a private message:

import asyncio
from aioslsk.client import SoulSeekClient
from aioslsk.commands import PrivateMessageCommand
from aioslsk.settings import Settings, CredentialsSettings

# Create default settings and configure credentials
settings: Settings = Settings(
    credentials=CredentialsSettings(
        username='my_user',
        password='Secret123'
    )
)

async def main():
    client: SoulSeekClient = SoulSeekClient(settings)

    await client.start()
    await client.login()

    # Send a private message
    await client.execute(PrivateMessageCommand('my_friend', 'Hi!'))

    await client.stop()

asyncio.run(main())

Development

Install poetry and setup the project dependencies by running:

poetry install

A tool is available to start the client for debugging purposes (try out commands to the server, …):

1. Create a settings.json file containing valid credentials in the tools/debug/ directory (or pass a path using --settings)

2. Run poetry run python -m tools.debug.debug_mode to start the REPL

3. Run an example command: >>> await client(cmds.GetPeerAddressCommand('some user'), response=True)

4. To close the REPL execute exit() or press Ctrl+Z

Optionally the script takes a --cache-dir that will read/write the transfer and shares cache from the given directory

Dependencies

The package uses several dependencies:

• mutagen : library used for extracting audio metadata

• aiofiles : asyncio library for filesystem management

• async-upnp-client : library for managing UPnP configuration

• pydantic-settings : library for managing settings

• async-timeout : library providing timeout class
