aioslsk

======= aioslsk

aioslsk is a Python library for the SoulSeek protocol built on top of asyncio.

Supported Python versions are currently 3.10 - 3.14

You can find the full documentation here <http://aioslsk.readthedocs.io/>_

Installation

.. code-block:: shell

pip install aioslsk

Quick Start

Starting the client and sending a private message:

.. code-block:: python

import asyncio
from aioslsk.client import SoulSeekClient
from aioslsk.commands import PrivateMessageCommand
from aioslsk.settings import Settings, CredentialsSettings

# Create default settings and configure credentials
settings: Settings = Settings(
    credentials=CredentialsSettings(
        username='my_user',
        password='Secret123'
    )
)

async def main():
    client: SoulSeekClient = SoulSeekClient(settings)

    await client.start()
    await client.login()

    # Send a private message
    await client.execute(PrivateMessageCommand('my_friend', 'Hi!'))

    await client.stop()

asyncio.run(main())

Development

Install poetry_ and setup the project dependencies by running:

.. code-block:: shell

poetry install

A tool is available to start the client for debugging purposes (try out commands to the server, ...):

• Create a settings.json file containing valid credentials in the tools/debug/ directory (or pass a path using --settings). To generate a simple settings file:

  .. code-block:: shell

  poetry run python -m aioslsk.settings generate -u "Hello" -p "World" > tools/debug/settings.json
  

• To start the REPL run:

  .. code-block:: shell

  # Reads from tools/debug/settings.json
  poetry run python -m tools.debug.debug_mode
  # Reads from specific file
  poetry run python -m tools.debug.debug_mode --settings ~/custom_settings.json
  

• Run an example command (the aioslsk.commands module is aliased to the cmds variable):

  .. code-block:: python

   await client(cmds.GetPeerAddressCommand('some user'), response=True)
  

• To close the REPL execute exit() or press Ctrl+Z

Optionally the script takes a --cache-dir that will read/write the transfer and shares cache from the given directory

Building the documentation

.. code-block:: shell

cd docs/
poetry run make html

Running Tests

Running all tests:

.. code-block:: shell

poetry run pytest tests/

Running all tests with code coverage report:

.. code-block:: shell

poetry run pytest --cov=aioslsk --cov-report term-missing tests/

By default the logs are only shown in case of failure. To enable all logging output during testing run the tests as follows:

.. code-block:: shell

poetry run pytest tests/ -o log_cli=true

Mock Server

A mock server implementation is available for testing, to start the server run:

.. code-block:: shell

    # By default the server listens on port 2416
    poetry run python -m tests.e2e.mock.server
    # Specifying multiple listening ports
    poetry run python -m tests.e2e.mock.server --port 2416 2242

Configure the hostname or IP of the server in your client and connect. If such configuration is not
possible you can add an entry to the ``hosts`` file of your system. For example:

::

    127.0.0.1      server.slsknet.org


Use ``--help`` to get a list of available options.
