Python BitTorrent Library [closed]

Question

Is there a Python BitTorrent library that just works?

I need to tinker around with BitTorrent protocol for a research project and I don't want to reinvent the wheel and write my own implementation of the protocol (and neither I am capable of doing so)

I looked at the sources for the official BitTorrent client, but that is not what I am looking for. A library/ module is what I would prefer.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You might want to have a look at the python-libtorrent project. It's a wrapper around the libtorrent C++ library, which claims to be efficient and easy to use.

Answer 2

BitTornado is pure Python library written by John Hoffman.
