Cool, have you checked Freebase by chance? This should be very similar (and also working for gnutella clients, BTW). It also offers the possibility to show a little picture in forum posts containing magnet links showing a counter of the file downloads etc.

Jupp, I know (and like) freebase, but I wanted to create a hybrid filehosting and Gnutella-connecting server - and I wanted to write it in Python

I'm not yet sure, though, if the alt-loc exchange works as it should (needs testing). What works nicely is updating the magnet link with up to 16 xs-sources of downloaders, so you always have first sources.
