For more info on using pandora_client, check
http://wiki.0x2620.org/wiki/pandora_client

pandora client example:
  import pandora_client
  #example config.json
  '''
  {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/api/",
      "username": "username",
      "password": "password",
      "cache": "~/.ox/client.sqlite",
      "media-cache": "~/.ox/media",
      "volumes": {
          "volumename": "/media/2010/Movies"
      }
  }
  '''
  c = pandora_client.Client('config.json')
  c.scan()  #scans all volumes for files and updates cache db
  c.sync()  #syncs cached file info with site, and encodes and uploads requested media
  c.clean() #cleanup transcodes created druing sync to save disk space


just using the API:
    api = pandora_client.API("http://localhost:8000/api/")
    r = api.find(
        query={'conditions':[]},
        keys=['title', 'year'],
        range=[0, 100]
    )
    for i in r['data']['items']:
        ...

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
