I use "btmakemetafile.py", which is part of BitTornado. I'm
using FreeBSD, where you get it via installing the
"py24-BitTornado" port/package. This will also give you
"btshowmetainfo.py" for examining dot torrent files, and the
sometimes (but infrequently) useful "btrename.py" and
"btreannounce.py".

On Ubunto, I think you can get it with "bittornado", and you
can skip installing "bittornado-gui" (unless you plan to use
the bittornado bittorrent client under X11, but if you were
planning on that you probably wouldn't be using rtorrent).
