ts3 0.3.4

# PyTS3
This package provides a *thread-safe* **Python 3 API** for:

* TS3 query connections
* TS3 query events
* TS3 file transfers

You can find a complete API documentation
[here](http://py-ts3.readthedocs.org).

## Installation

1. [Download](https://github.com/benediktschmitt/emsm/archive/master.zip) the
master branch.

2. You can either install the package with *distutils*

```Shell
$ setup.py install
```

or you copy the *ts3* directory into your application's include path:

```Shell
$ cp -r ts3/ /foo/bar/my_lib/
```

If you choose the portable installation mode, you may not be able to import
the *examples* sub-package.


## TS3 Server configuration

If you want to send lots of queries to the TS3 server, make sure, that you're
connection is not closed by the **anti-flood protection** of the TS3 server.
So it may be wise to add the host that runs the TS3 queries to the
``query_ip_whitelist.txt`` of your TS3 server:

```Shell
$ echo "192.168.178.42" >> path/to/ts3/server/directory/query_ip_whitelist.txt
```

## Introduction
The easiest way to get to grips with this library is taking a look at the
[examples](ts3/examples/).

If you need information about the possible query commands, take a look at the
**TS3 Server Query Manual**.


### Examples
You can find more examples in the [examples directory](ts3/examples).

* Show all clients on the virtual server with the server id 1:

```Python
#!/usr/bin/python3

import ts3

with ts3.query.TS3Connection("localhost") as ts3conn:
# Note, that the client will wait for the response and raise a
# **TS3QueryError** if the error id of the response is not 0.
try:
ts3conn.login(client_login_name="serveradmin",
client_login_password="FoOBa9")
except ts3.query.TS3QueryError as err:
print("Login failed:", err.resp.error["msg"])
exit(1)

ts3conn.use(1)

# Each query method will return a **TS3QueryResponse** instance,
# with the response.
resp = ts3conn.clientlist()
print("Clients on the server:", resp.parsed)
print("Error:", resp.error["id"], resp.error["msg"])

# Note, the TS3Response class and therefore the TS3QueryResponse class
# too, can work as a rudimentary container. So, these two commands are
# equal:
for client in resp.parsed:
print(client)
for client in resp:
print(client)
```

* Say hello to all clients:

```Python
#!/usr/bin/python3

import ts3

with ts3.query.TS3Connection("localhost") as ts3conn:
ts3conn.login(client_login_name="serveradmin",
client_login_password="FoOBa9")
ts3conn.use(sid=1)

for client in ts3conn.clientlist():
msg = "Hi {}".format(client["client_nickname"])
ts3conn.clientpoke(client["clid"], msg)
```

* Event handling:

```Python
#!/usr/bin/python3

import time
import ts3

def my_event_handler(ts3conn, event):
"""
*event* is a ts3.response.TS3Event instance, that contains the name of the
event and the data.
"""
print("Event:")
print("\t", event.event)
print("\t", event.parsed)
return None

with ts3.query.TS3Connection("localhost") as ts3conn:
ts3conn.login(client_login_name="serveradmin",
client_login_password="FoOBa9")
ts3conn.use(sid=1)

# Replace the default handler
ts3conn.on_event = my_event_handler

# Register for events
ts3conn.servernotifyregister(event="server")

# Start the recv loop to catch all events.
ts3conn.recv_in_thread()

# Note, that you can still use the ts3conn to send queries:
ts3conn.clientlist()

# The recv thread can be stopped with:
# >>> ts3conn.stop_recv()
# Note, that the thread will be stopped automatically when the client
# disconnects.

# Block to avoid leaving the *with* statement and therefore closing the
# connection.
input("> Hit enter to finish.")
```

* A simple TS3 viewer:

```Python
#!/usr/bin/python3

import ts3

# The examples package already contains this implementation.
# Note, that the ts3.examples.viewer module has an helpful class to build
# a complete channel tree of a virtual server: ChannelTreeNode
from ts3.examples.viewer import view

with ts3.query.TS3Connection("localhost") as ts3conn:
ts3conn.login(client_login_name="serveradmin",
client_login_password="FoOBa9")
view(ts3conn, sid=1)
```

* Download and upload files:

```Python
#!/usr/bin/python3

import ts3

with ts3.query.TS3Connection("localhost") as ts3conn:
ts3conn.login(client_login_name="serveradmin",
client_login_password="FoOBa9")
view(ts3conn, sid=1)

# Create a new TS3FileTransfer instance associated with the
# TS3Connection.
ts3ft = ts3.filetransfer.TS3FileTransfer(ts3conn)

# Upload the image *baz.png* to the channel with the id 2 on the
# TS3 server.
# Note the opening mode ("rb").
with open("baz.png", "rb") as file:
ts3ft.init_upload(input_file=file, name="/baz.png", cid=2)

# Download the file into *baz1.png*.
with open("baz1.png", "wb") as file:
ts3ft.init_download(output_file=file, name="/baz.png", cid=2)
```
