pyFreenet 0.4.1 with auto-spawn support in fcpupload

I just put up a new pyFreenet [1] release (github [2]):

• pyFreenet3 0.4.1 [1] (tar.gz [3], in Freenet [4])

If you have Python3 and pip >= 8 you can get it with pip3 install -U --user --egg pyFreenet3. It provides a cleaned up fcpupload script with --spawn support (requires GNU/Linux [5]):

pip3 install -U --user --egg pyFreenet3
echo 1 > testfile
fcpupload --spawn --fcpPort 9486 testfile 

add -p 1 (high prio) and -e (realtime) for higher speed

It creates a Freenet node which listens at port 9486 (except if one already exists there), inserts the testfile, waits until the upload finishes, gives you a CHK link to the file and stops the node afterwards.

Also fcpupload now works again when used with a remote node.

This is tested by doublec, but still has rough edges (For example pip3 install can fail with error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized). But it works: people who have Java and Python3 installed on GNU/Linux can now upload files into Freenet without having to worry about Freenet at all — even without ever seeing it.

If you experience problems, please tell me on FMS (in Freenet) on GNU social [6] or on twitter [7].
