torf 1.5

High-level Python 3 module for creating and parsing torrent files

torf provides a high-level, flexible Torrent class that holds torrent metainfo and can export it to and import it from .torrent files. It can also create BTIH magnet links.

It started as a fork of dottorrent but turned into a rewrite with more features like full control over the torrent’s metainfo, validation, randomization of the info hash to help with cross-seeding and more.

torf-cli is a command line tool that makes use of torf.

Example

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')

Documentation

Documentation is in the docstrings. Read it locally by running pydoc3 torf.Torrent after the installation. It’s also available online.
