pyrocore

This project provides a collection of tools for the BitTorrent protocol and especially the rTorrent client. They enable you to filter rTorrent's item list for displaying or changing selected items, also creating, inspecting and changing .torrent files, and much more.

An optional daemon process (pyrotorque) can add flexible queue management for rTorrent, starting items added in bulk slowly over time according to customizable rules. The same daemon can also watch one or more directory trees recursively for new metafiles using inotify, resulting in instantaneous loading without any polling and no extra configuration for nested directories.

The PyroScope command line utilities are not the same as the sibling project rTorrent-PS, and they work perfectly fine without it; the same is true the other way 'round. It's just that both unsurprisingly have synergies if used together, and some features do only work when both are present.

Further information can be found in the documentation, specifically:

• A feature overview
• Installation instructions
• Full API documentation

You can also add your own content to the project's wiki, to help out other users, and show to the world you're awesome.

Performing a Release

1. Check for and fix pylint violations:

    paver lint -m | egrep -v 'TODO|Too.many'
   

2. Verify debian/changelog for completeness and the correct version, and bump the release date:

    dch -r
   

3. Remove ‘dev’ version tagging from setup.cfg, and perform a release check:

    sed -i -re 's/^(tag_[a-z ]+=)/##\1/' setup.cfg
    paver release
   

4. Commit and tag the release:

    git status  # check all is committed
    tag="v$(dpkg-parsechangelog | grep '^Version:' | awk '{print $2}')"
    git tag -a "$tag" -m "Release $tag"
   

5. Build the final release and upload it to PyPI:

    paver dist_clean sdist bdist_wheel
    twine upload dist/*.{zip,whl}
   

6. Create the ZIP file with the API documentation:

    paver autodocs
    # Make sure docs are built OK
    paver dist_docs
   

7. Upload the docs from the dist directory to pythonhosted.org:

    xdg-open "https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=pkg_edit&name=pyrocore" &
