pyrt is a (currently alpha) rtorrent webUI frontend designed to run standalone, with its own HTTP server, and to run off a rtorrent socket file.

Assuming rtorrent has been compiled with xmlrpc and scgi_local has been enabled in .rtorrent.rc, pyrt should be able to run without any further requirements (other than a simple configuration file).

No apache set up, no confusing SCGI webserver configuration, no permissions to be set.

Since pyrt runs off a socket file, this allows us to secure the xmlrpc interface to only users that are allowed to access the user's files, many other rtorrent frontends require this to be thrown open to anyone else on the same server, or even to anyone with knowledge of which port rtorrent is listening on.

Dependencies:

• tornado
• rtorrent compiled with the --with-xmlrpc-c option
