Introduction

aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source command-line download utility.

It's easy to install aria2 on Linux (apt install aria2), however it's not easy to install aria2 on Windows (at least can't one-click to install).

So I build this python wheel to binding aria2 static build. You can install it by pip from pypi on Windows.

Now, we support:

• manylinux_2_17_x86_64
• musllinux_1_1_x86_64
• manylinux_2_17_aarch64
• musllinux_1_1_aarch64
• win_amd64
• win32

Features

aria2-wheel internally bundles the aria2c binary and utilizes the entry_point technology.

Therefore, it does not modify your system's PATH environment variable, and there is no need for sudo permissions.

You can completely uninstall it by running pip uninstall aria2.

Install

pip install aria2

or install in global environment with pipx

# https://pypa.github.io/pipx/
pipx install aria2

Usage

cli usage

All api is the same as aria2

aria2c --help

or

python -m aria2c --help

ctrl + c , ctrl + break , kill <pid> will work well, even exit code.

subprocess.Popen

Do not shutdown the subprocess by Popen.terminate() or Popen.kill(), which can not shutdown aria2 subprocess properly.

Use following code instead:

import os
import signal
import subprocess
import sys
from subprocess import Popen
from typing import TypedDict


class Win32PopenKwargs(TypedDict):
    """Popen kwargs for Windows."""

    creationflags: int


class UnixPopenKwargs(TypedDict):
    """Popen kwargs for Unix."""

    start_new_session: bool


popen_kwargs = (
    UnixPopenKwargs(start_new_session=True)
    if sys.platform != "win32"
    else Win32PopenKwargs(creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP)
)


with Popen(args=("aria2c", "--enable-rpc"), **popen_kwargs) as p:
    try:
        # Do whatever you want here.
        ...
    finally:
        # following code can shutdown the subprocess gracefully.
        if sys.platform == "win32":
            # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44124338/trying-to-implement-signal-ctrl-c-event-in-python3-6
            os.kill(p.pid, signal.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT)
        else:
            os.killpg(os.getpgid(p.pid), signal.SIGINT)
