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/")

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 python3-twisted python3-requests
now run one node in server mode:
pandora_client server
and start the other nodes with:
pandora_client client http://SERVER_IP:8789
