Python module / script to parse a torrent file to a python object. I just wrote this for fun one evening, and to learn a bit more about the torrent file format.
See http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0003.html for more info.
The decode method accepts a bytes object and returns a list.
bencode.py is the module. example.py is an example script that loads a torrent file and prettyprints the python object to a file.
Example:
>>> import bencode
>>>
>>> with open("archlinux-2013.04.01-dual.iso.torrent", 'rb') as fh:
... torrent_data = fh.read()
...
>>> torrent = bencode.decode(torrent_data)
>>>
>>> print("announce: ", torrent[0][b'announce'])
announce: b'http://tracker.archlinux.org:6969/announce'
>>> print("name: ", torrent[0][b'info'][b'name'])
name: b'archlinux-2013.04.01-dual.iso'
>>>
