Python PyTorrent library import error

Question

I am working with Python for a month now and I have still a lot of things to achieve. I was trying to code an easy torrent crawler for my favourite torrent source and download the file itself other than torrent. I succeeded with downloading .torrent file but I can not download the file with the .torrent file.

My research brought me to PyTorrent library. So I downloaded it using

pip install PyTorrent

However when I try to import it here is what I have :

You can see my system and my python version from the screenshot above. And, I am running python on windows8, the screenshot is from PowerShell.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

The SIGKILL symbol is generally part of the signal module in Python. The documentation for signal includes the following statement:

Note that not all systems define the same set of signal names; only those names defined by the system are defined by this module.

It looks like the signal module, when used on Windows, does not provide SIGKILL . It's probable that PyTorrent was written on and generally used under Linux. You could probably fix that particular error yourself, but it looks like this module hasn't been maintained in years (if you're using the same PyTorrent module I found in my googles).
