torf provides a Torrent and a Magnet class.

torf-cli and torf-gui provide user interfaces for torf.

This project started as a fork of dottorrent but turned into a rewrite.

• Create a Torrent instance from a path to the torrent's content or by reading an existing .torrent file
• High-level access to standard metainfo fields via properties
• Low-level access to arbitrary metainfo fields via metainfo property
• Optional metainfo validation with helpful error messages
• Generate a BTIH magnet URI from a .torrent file (the reverse is also possible but the resulting torrent is incomplete due to the lack of information in magnet URIs)
• Use multiple CPU cores to compute piece hashes
• Randomize the info hash to help with cross-seeding
• Conveniently re-use piece hashes from an existing torrent file

from torf import Torrent
t = Torrent(path='path/to/content',
            trackers=['https://tracker1.example.org:1234/announce',
                      'https://tracker2.example.org:5678/announce'],
            comment='This is a comment')
t.private = True
t.generate()
t.write('my.torrent')

Everything should be explained in the docstrings. Read it with pydoc3 torf.Torrent or pydoc3 torf.Magnet.

Documentation is also available at torf.readthedocs.io or torf.readthedocs.io/en/latest for the development version.

torf is available on PyPI.

The latest development version is in the master branch on GitHub.

I consider this project feature complete, but feel free to request new features or improvements. Bug reports are always welcome, of course.
