Changes:

  • changed: requires Python 3.5+ now
  • changed: specifying trackers is now optional with the new -t switch, thus trackerless torrents are now
    possible
  • added: bestN shortcut! It is now possible to add the best N trackers from ngosang/trackerslist (https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist)
    by using the new bestN shortcut
  • changed: use external JSON files for configuration, by default try to load .py3createtorrent.cfg
    from user's home directory
  • added: DHT bootstrap nodes can now be specified with the new --node switch (doing so is recommended for
    trackerless torrents)
  • added: webseed support with the new --webseed switch (GetRight style, i.e. http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html)
  • changed: increased max piece size to 16 MiB
  • changed: show warning if piece size is not a multiple of 16 KiB

  • added: Pipfile and Pipfile.lock for pipenv support
  • added: README.md
  • changed: improved performance of single file torrent creation
  • refactored: switched to bencode.py module for encoding the torrent data
  • refactored: switched from optparse to argparse
  • refactored: reformatted code with yapf, using a new column limit of 120
  • refactored: added type hints to enable analysis with mypy (we use Python's typing module which was added in
    Python 3.5, thus Python 3.5 is the new minimum version that is required)
