rtorrent-python 0.2.9

A simple rTorrent interface written in Python

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

The xmlrpc interface to rTorrent is extremely unintuitive and has very little documentation, this project aims to make interfacing with rTorrent much easier.

NOTE: This project is considered beta, so expect the API to change. All API changes will be noted in the CHANGELOG.

REQUIREMENTS

• [Python](http://www.python.org/) 2.6 or higher, 3.0 or higher (might work on older versions, but these are the only ones I’m supporting).

• [rTorrent](http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/) 0.8.1 or later, with xmlrpc-c support (see [this guide](http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide)).

• [xmlrpc-c](http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/) 1.00 or later. 1.07 or later for 64bit integer support (highly recommended, download either the stable or advanced branches).

• [Apache](http://www.apache.org/) or [lighttpd](http://www.lighttpd.net/)
