The BT Infohash is mostly a hash of the hashes of the blocks + file names + a couple of other things. Notably the list of trackers is not part of the infohash, so adding trackers to a torrent file does not affect the hash.

If you're really interested, install the Python module bencode, and use it to de-serialize a .torrent file.
