I2P bindings for Twisted

Project description

txi2p is a set of I2P bindings for Twisted 10.1 or greater.

txi2p supports both the SAM and BOB APIs for I2P. The default API is SAM.

Installation

You can install txi2p from PyPI:

$ pip install txi2p

or by downloading the source and running:

$ python setup.py install

Quickstart

If you are not familiar with using endpoints or endpoint strings, read the Twisted endpoints documentation.

Using endpoint classes

To connect to an I2P site:

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import clientFromString
from txi2p.sam import SAMI2PStreamClientEndpoint

samEndpoint = clientFromString(reactor, 'tcp:127.0.0.1:7656')
endpoint = SAMI2PStreamClientEndpoint.new(reactor, samEndpoint, 'stats.i2p')
d = endpoint.connect(factory)

To have a server listen on an I2P Destination:

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import clientFromString
from txi2p.sam import SAMI2PStreamServerEndpoint

samEndpoint = clientFromString(reactor, 'tcp:127.0.0.1:7656')
endpoint = SAMI2PStreamServerEndpoint.new(reactor, samEndpoint, '/path/to/keyfile')
d = endpoint.listen(factory)

Using endpoint strings

Requires Twisted 14.0 or greater.

To connect to an I2P site:

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import clientFromString

endpoint = clientFromString(reactor, 'i2p:stats.i2p')
d = endpoint.connect(factory)

To have a server listen on an I2P Destination:

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import serverFromString

endpoint = serverFromString(reactor, 'i2p:/path/to/keyfile')
d = endpoint.listen(factory)

To connect using a specific API:

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import clientFromString

endpoint = clientFromString(reactor, 'i2p:stats.i2p:api=BOB')
d = endpoint.connect(factory)

To connect using a non-standard API host or port:

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.endpoints import clientFromString

endpoint = clientFromString(reactor, 'i2p:stats.i2p:api=SAM:apiEndpoint=tcp\:127.0.0.1\:31337')
d = endpoint.connect(factory)

Endpoint strings

The Twisted plugin for clientFromString() and serverFromString() will only work for Twisted 14.0 or greater.

Both client and server strings support the following keyword arguments:

  • api=<apiName> - Either SAM or BOB.

  • apiEndpoint=<endpointString> - An escaped client endpoint string pointing to the API, e.g. tcp\:127.0.0.1\:2827.

Clients

Client string format:

i2p:<host>[:port][:key=value]*

Supported arguments:

SAM

  • nickname

  • autoClose

  • keyfile

  • options

BOB

  • tunnelNick

  • inhost

  • inport

  • options

Servers

Server string format:

i2p:<keyfile>[:port][:key=value]*

Supported arguments:

SAM

  • nickname

  • autoClose

  • options

BOB

  • tunnelNick

  • outhost

  • outport

  • options
