tiny Bittorrent client
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goal is to supply an easy to use and simple to understand implementation
|
||
|
|
of the BitTorrent specifications in python with no external dependencies
|
||
|
|
except for the python standard library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation is spread over several files, each implementing
|
||
|
|
a single component.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
krpc.py - implements the basic UDP Kademila-RPC protocol layer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KRPC Implementation
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The KRPCPeer only exposes three methods:
|
||
|
|
- __init__((host, port), query_handler)
|
||
|
|
That takes the (host, port) tuple where it should listen and the second
|
||
|
|
argument is the function that processes incoming messages.
|
||
|
|
- shutdown()
|
||
|
|
Shutdown of all threads and connections of the KRPC peer.
|
||
|
|
- send_krpc_query((host, port), method, **kwargs)
|
||
|
|
This method sends a query to a remote host specified by a (host, pool) tuple.
|
||
|
|
The name and arguments to call on the remote host is given as well.
|
||
|
|
An async result holder is returned, that allows to wait for a reply.
