ts3 0.6.6

TS3 Server Query API

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.

Installation

This package is registered on PyPi, so you’re done with:

$ pip3 install ts3

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:

$ 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.

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 ts3.examples package.

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

  #!/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:

  #!/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(clid=client["clid"], msg=msg)

• Event handling:

  #!/usr/bin/python3
  
  import time
  import ts3
  
  def my_event_handler(sender, event):
          """
          *sender* is the TS3Connection instance, that received the event.
  
          *event* is a ts3.response.TS3Event instance, that contains the name
          of the event and the data.
          """
          print("Event:")
          print("  sender:", sender)
          print("  event.event:", event.event)
          print("  event.parsed:", 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)
  
          # Connect the signal. This is a **blinker.Signal** instance, shared
          # by all TS3Connections.
          ts3conn.on_event.connect(my_event_handler)
  
          # If you only want to connect the handler to a specifc ts3
          # connection, use:
          # ts3conn.on_event.connect(my_event_handler, sender=ts3conn)
  
          # 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:

  #!/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:

  #!/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)
