Resolve metadata of a torrent from the hash (or the magnet link)? Ideally in python

Question

I'm trying to take a magnet link (ie. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:640FE84C613C17F663551D218689A64E8AEBEABE) and fetch the metadata for it (title, files, comment, whatever else comes with a .torrent file). Ideally in python, but I'll take any info I can get

This is the library used by Deluge, for example. – kirelagin May 27 '13 at 20:07

Check out Magnet2Torrent, which uses python and python-libtorrent to download a torrent file for any magnet uri that it is given.
