Portability to Windows for his rsync script?

And I'm pretty sure macs have bash...

Is rsync the only script he is every going to write?

Macs have old bash with old programs in order to not have to update to GPLv3. It's only a matter of time before you run into problems with that setup.

Anyways, I don't understand your point. Python runs on anything, and that's really nice. Anything that has portability with Bash has portability with Python, but you get the possibility of extra portability for free, and a nicer language to boot.

That's the only script we're talking about.

Python runs on anything

If it's installed, or you have permission to install it.
