Getting started

transmission-fluid is available on PyPI.

Installing

Install via pip or easy_install:

$ pip install transmission-fluid

Or download the source and run python setup.py install, if that’s your thing.

transmission-fluid works on Python 2.6 and 2.7.

It also depends on the requests library, which will be automatically installed if setuptools or distribute are available.

Creating a client

Once installed, create a client object:

>>> from transmission import Transmission
>>> client = Transmission()

By default, the client connects to localhost:9091 without authentication.

But that can be changed:

>>> client = Transmission(host='192.168.1.102', port=9090,
...                       username='foo', password='bar')

New in version 0.3: Pass ssl = True when constructing the client to use HTTPS for communication between the client and the daemon. It’s off by default.
