The problem was solved with help from Cas-. (thanks)

This is the gist of the solution:

md = lt.bdecode(self.torrent_info.metadata())
torrent_file = {}
torrent_file["info"] = md
open("foo.torrent", "wb").write(lt.bencode(torrent_file))

Now there is a valid torrent file that can be used along
with the .fastresume file to resume the download after restart.

mwarning
