The simplest way to use this project is to install the .deb file,
|
|
|
|
|
which appears in the "debs" subfolder. This was tested under
|
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper), but may work in other Debian-based systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you may compile the code with the script 'makeit'. The
|
|
|
|
|
script 'installit' will install the package, so you can import it as
|
|
|
|
|
a module under python.

As a simpler test, you can check whether pytorrent works by
|
2006-12-01 18:07:03 +00:00
|
|
|
by running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python test.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This does a simple torrent download. Note that the torrent is for
|
|
|
|
|
the Ubuntu 6.06 release, and was available as of 15.9.2006. You
|
|
|
|
|
may need to replace the torrent with another.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If successful, you will see test.py print the torrent status
|
|
|
|
|
to the screen each second. Notice in particular the download speed
|
|
|
|
|
and amount downloaded so far, to see if things are working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: You may need to change the port used, depending on your system.
