Change deluge config with a script

[securpi]

Hi,

since I use deluge behind a vpn I need to ask for portforwarding to my vpn provider in order to be able to receive incoming connections.
The problem is that the vpn provider gives me a different port every time I turn on the computer, therefore I am trying to create a script that:
- takes the port number as an input
- parse deluge config files to see its current incoming ports
- change to the new one if it is different

I tried using the json module in python but apparently it cannot read core.conf because of the initial lines

Code: Select all

{
  "file": 1, 
  "format": 1
}

How can I do it? Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Simplest to use the deluge python modules:

Code: Select all

from deluge.config import Config
core_conf = Config('core.conf')
print(core_conf['listen_ports'])
core_conf['listen_ports'] = [1234, 1235]
print(core_conf['listen_ports'])

You could also use the deluge-console (non-interactive) to get and set values.

I did this for a Win7 Vm, the VPN IP and port would change on every connection. I found that changing the .conf file wasn't reliable, so I wrote a script to set the values using deluge-console. Hasn't failed me yet
