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

api documentation is available as python docstrings.
i.e. in ipython:
api.find?
(alternatively you can open the api url in a browser to read further documentation)
== 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:
apt-get install python-twisted python-requests
now run one node in server mode:
pandora_client server
and start the other nodes with:
pandora_client client http://SERVER_IP:8789
