I’m working in an organisation with limited funds. They can’t afford a business account on Dropbox. However, they would find it useful to have all their files synchronized on local machines.
I’ve recently looked at Python Sockets and it looks as though a custom script could achieve what they’re looking for. I’m concerned that it may be too low-level because a library may exist that provides a lot of functionality and it would be a waste of resources to start from scratch.
Is there a Python library/module that would provide what I’m looking for?
That sounds like you would be reimplementing rsync in Python. If you’re mainly synchronizing NIX machines you should talk a look at using that. Specifically for Python, libraries like fabric can help you push files to remote machines.
