==========

pybtracker is a UDP BitTorrent tracker written in Python 3.5 using

co-routines and the ``asyncio`` module. You can use the tracker in a

script like this:

::

   import asyncio

   from pybtracker import TrackerServer

   loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

   tracker = TrackerServer(local_addr=('127.0.0.1', 8000), loop=loop)

   asyncio.ensure_future(tracker.start())

   try:

       loop.run_forever()

   except KeyboardInterrupt:

       loop.run_until_complete(tracker.stop())

It also includes a UDP tracker client:

::

   import asyncio

   from pybtracker import TrackerClient

   async def announce():

       client = TrackerClient(announce_uri='udp://127.0.0.1:8000', loop=loop)

       await client.start()

       peers = await client.announce(

           b'01234567890123456789',  # infohash

           10000,                    # downloaded

           40000,                    # left

           5000,                     # uploaded

           0,                        # event (0=none)

           120                       # number of peers wanted

       )

       print(peers)

   loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

   loop.run_until_complete(announce())

You can run the server independently by running:

::

   $ python -m pybtracker.server -b 127.0.0.1:8000 -O

The client can also be run independently and it provides you with a

shell to interact with the server:

::

   $ python -m pybtracker.client udp://127.0.0.1:8000

   BitTorrent tracker client. Type help or ? to list commands.

   (btrc) help

   Documented commands (type help ):

   ========================================

   EOF  announce  connect  help  quit

   (btrc) quit

   $

If you have installed pybtracker using pip or setup.py, you can also

run ``pybtracker`` and ``pybtracker-client`` instead of using ``python

-m``.
