cool... someone playing with pysync :-) > is based on is a bit out of date. pysync includes a pure-python implementation that will run on anything that can run python, as well as a basic wrapper for librsync. It also includes extension modules for md4sum and rollsum that speed it up a fair bit. Something possibly worth trying on it is psyco... it compiles python to native code on the fly using a simple "import psyco". Pure python is a bit slow compared to native C implementations, but psyco could help close the gap a bit. librsync is still under active development by myself and others, and recently had a new release. I haven't touched pysync for a while, but it should still work with the latest librsync as the API hasn't changed. If there are any problems, please let me know. I believe rdiff-backup also has a python wrapper for librsync that might be more advanced than the one in pysync. I have plans for both pysync and librsync, but I haven't worked on them much lately. I find I am mostly motivated by feedback from others when funding is not available :-) -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
