## just using the API:
api = pandora_client.API("http://localhost:8000/api/")

api documentation is available as python docstrings.
i.e. in ipython:

## Distributed encoding
pandora_client can distribute the encoding to multiple nodes
on a local network or multiple encodings on the same host.
to do this you need to install additional dependencies:
2018-04-03 08:27:41 +00:00
apt-get install python3-twisted python3-requests
now run one node in server mode:
2018-04-03 08:27:41 +00:00
pandora_client server
and start the other nodes with:
2018-04-03 08:27:41 +00:00
pandora_client client http://SERVER_IP:8789
