A python script designed to post-process Transmission torrents.

The script extracts files recursively (if extract is necessary) and the moves the files to pre-configured folders based on their type. If no rars are present in the download - the script will copy the files.

The script relies on the 'guessit' package to detect movies/tv downloads.

Original torrent files are conserved for upload.

I recommend using this script with couchpotato/sickbeard/headphones since they provide additional awesome post-processing features!

• Currently only 7-Zip is supported.

Install the script as follows:

$ python setup.py develop

Edit the configuration with your folders

$ vim config.py

That's it.

The script can be used from the command line:

$ pyexpand /download/The.Wire.S01E01.HDTV

or for transmission:

$ vim /var/lib/transmission/settings.json
..
 "script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
 "script-torrent-done-filename": "pyexpand",
..

• Make sure that the transmission user can run pyexpand. If not:

  $ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pyexpand /usr/bin/pyexpand
