PyTorrentInfo

Parse bencoded data (torrent files, tracker responses) using Python 3

How to use

With torrent file:

import torrentParser

tp = torrentParser.TorrentParser()
data = tp.readFile("/file/path/here")
torrentName = data["torrent"]["info"]["name"]

With tracker response (string with bencoded data):

import torrentParser

tp = torrentParser.TorrentParser()
data = tp.readDict("d3:bar4:spam3:fooi42ee")

You can also use bundled torrentInfo.py as a command line program. Parameters:

Hashes make the output harder to read, so don't print them if you don't really need to see them

Test Data

The test data in this repo is a random selection of .torrent files from archive.org. I have not downloaded or assessed the content itself.
