Syncing files between local and remote pyramid-app - anything built-in?

[Christian Benke]

Hello!

I want to sync data(JPG-files and JSON) between a local and a remote
Pyramid-app. Is there any built-in capability for that in Pyramid?
Otherwise i'd use the python-requests HTTP library. All comments are
appreciated!

Best regards,
Christian

what about using `rsync` on the command line ?

or git + rsync if you need a history.

I'm considering it, probably a mix of binary via rsync and json via
POST. I need to parse that data on the remote end, so some kind of
feedback/callback if everything went fine would be nice. But that's
only really necessary for the json-part, not for the binaries.

Looks like i'll stick with python-requests then. The WebOb-docs are
down unfortunately...

you could do a command-line pyramid tool that runs on a crontab and
wraps the rsync + cleanup routines.

Hu? What's your idea about?

The sync will be started by user-input. It's a local webinterface used
for publishing to a public website - when a internet connection is
available...

You can "bootstrap" pyramid onto the command line (
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.4-branch/narr/commandline.html
)

It's a lifesaver for building maintenance scripts -- you have full
access to your pyramid environment, or can just write whatever you
need in some customized script-only logic.

you could easily use a commandline script to wrap all the rsync stuff
(via popen or whatever), then do all the post-processing ( you'd have
access to your helpers and models ). if you're doing periodic syncs,
run it through a crontab. if you're doing a web based trigger... you
could have it trigger a new subprocess ( though i'd probably `touch`
and `rm` a file to use as a semaphore to know if the process is
already running )

does that make sense ?

Ah, yes it does!
