Looking for cross-platform rsync-like functionality in python, such as rsync.py

Question

I am implementing backup scripts in python. I\'m trying to keep things cross platform. I hear there is a python based rsync implementation: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rsync.py<

Answer 1

I know that rdiff-backup is written in python and use an rsync-like algorithm. It use librsync. Note that rdiff-backup is not a replacement for rsync, so it will not fill your needs. But you can take a look at librsync and see how rdiff-backup use it.
