Getting started
###############
transmission-fluid is available on PyPI_.
.. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/transmission-fluid
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 with Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.4.
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')
.. versionadded:: 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.
