For automation software, transmission (BitTorrent-client written in python, slow) seems to be the standard. If it could offer a transmission-compatible API-layer, I bet it would receive much more interest. Edit: apparently not written in python. My bad.

  Nice. Appreciated. Now I clearly have a weekend project. (Also, what great irony this proxy is written in python, eh?)

    >(Also, what great irony this proxy is written in python, eh?) It's written by a different person (me). Also Transmission is written in C FYI

      Yes. That was what was ironic since I (wrongly) complained about slow python based software.

        The first implementation of BitTorrent was written in Python. I don't think it has happened once since, not as any serious attempt anyway. The clients that use Python today are not slow because they all use rasterbar-libtorrent as a C Python module that performs all of the heavy lifting.

  What do I use it for? The README isn't very explanatory.

Transmission is written in c, not python.
