The 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caused near catastrophic damage when I mistakenly synched a config directory instead of its content, because of this an outdated database that was mistakenly still operational was used and we lost a couple of days migrating several hours worth of changes to the correct database.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!

Anybody having an install issue with python 3.7?

thanks 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

Thanks for the update. Installed correctly. Can't wait to try it out.

Cool, let me know what you think!
