Bittorrent module for python?

3 New Member
I've been looking for a way to query a bittorrent tracker like a client does and get info about seeders/leechers. So far I can't find any specific module that implements that kind of thing. Does anyone know of a module that has these features? I guess I could still do it manually with the socket module, but I may die in the process :p.

I think so, I believe that the first version of the bittorrent application was written in python.

Yeah I've looked into that, but the idea of tearing apart that client just to get at the basic tracker parts seems kind of extreme for what I am looking to do.
