BitTornado has a tracker implementation and it's written in Python, which is easy to read. It's nice to start from something working and then you can try to understand the code based on the protocol. BitTornado is based on original version that Bram Cohen implemented. Tracker is implemented in BitTornado.BT1.track.py
