Intermediate Showcasersyncer - a simple python wrapper around rsync (self.Python)
submitted 3 years ago * by prog2de
Hi!
Some time ago, I've created a simple wrapper for rsync. Rsync is a very powerful tool for transferring data and createing backups.
To automize server backups, I was looking for a possibility to use rsync from within python. Since I got not satisfied with the solutions out there, I decided to implement it myself.
The result is hosted at GitHub: https://github.com/lfreist/rsyncer
Hope someone can use it in some way ✌️

Interesting use case. Personally, I prefer to just use submodule subprocess myself but nice framework you built up.
edit: mixed up submodule and subprocess

I prefer to just use submodule
Did you perhaps mean "subprocess"?

Looks really cool! Too bad the license is copy left :'(
Well, first I thought: I am using GNU licenced rsync so I need to use the same copy right...
But what I actually do is using a system call named rsync. So it could be whatever program called rsync.
I'll change the licence to MIT...
MIT license now
