AutonomoTorrent 0.4.1

This is a fork of ABTorrent which is a pure Python implementation of a minimal BitTorrent client. The name AutonomoTorrent is short for Autonomous Torrent. Autonomous in this context means "existing or capable of existing independently," which refers to its pure Python nature.<br /><br />Autonomo came about because I wanted to use BitTorrent in another Python project of mine (AdroitGM), but found that most of the well-known Python clients relied upon Rasterbar's libtorrent which is in C. This worked well for dedicated clients, but all I wanted was a no-frills, good-enough client to integrate into another application for distributed file sharing. I looked at serveral pure-Python projects before settling on ABTorrent due to its minimal featureset, clean code and relatively up-to-date codebase (have a look at the old "Mainline" client code to get an idea of what I was comparing it against).
