I am a django newbie, so can you please clarify the following for me : I can create a torrent using py3createtorrent locally, but am unable to figure how it will work via a django web app. To make it work locally, i specified the local location of the folder, i wanted to create a torrent for. In the web app scenario, the user selects the content present on the user's local machine, after that, how do i use py3createtorrent to create a torrent on the server end, since the content is not present on the server . > > [1] > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Torrent_file#Single_file<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrent_file#Single_file> > > Any suggestions/pointers/ideas/**links will be greatly appreciated >> >> Thanks a ton, >> >> cheers, >> >> ashish >> >> 1. http://mktorrent.sourceforge.**net/<http://mktorrent.sourceforge.net/> >> 2. >> http://www.robertnitsch.de/**projects/py3createtorrent<http://www.robertnitsch.de/projects/py3createtorrent> >> >> >> >> ______________________________**_________________ >> Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org >> To unsubscribe or change subscription options: >> http://mail.python.org/**mailman/listinfo/tutor<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor> >> > >
