Show HN: Wrapping bash calls to rsync in Python
- just_myles 8y agoAnybody having an install issue with python 3.7?
- gchamonlive 8y agothanks for letting me know. a subpackage was missing a `__init__.py` which didn't show neither in development nor in running `python setup.py install --user`. I guess I should have experimented with pip, lesson learned! it should be ok to install now, if you could give it another chance
- just_myles 8y agoThanks for the update. Installed correctly. Can't wait to try it out.
- gchamonlive 8y agoCool, let me know what you think!
- gchamonlive 8y agoThe motivation behind this package came while I was writing a custom deploy script in python for the company I work. The script had to deal with pulling changes, compiling code but ultimately it had to reliably deploy code remotely. A small bug caused near catastrophic damage when I mistakenly synched a config directory instead of its content, because of this an outdated database that was mistakenly still operational was used and we lost a couple of days migrating several hours worth of changes to the correct database. Looking back, it was quick to issue a fix to the script, but the code looked dirty and low level, with many calls to subprocess.run with template strings, all of which were extremely error prone and untestable. I needed therefore a thoroughly tested module to hide and reliably wrap the shell calls to Rsync we were doing and that is why I wrote this package. I was hoping the community would test it out and leave suggestions as to what could be better implemented, feature ideas as well as test cases I didn't think of. Thanks beforehand! I hope this package could also come in handy to other people. I would be delighted to know I helped!
