Is there any good way to mirror the cluster weight just like the
joint's skincluster? i have wrote one but it's very slow and there are
some bugs, does anybody have a good solution?

have you tried looking at maya's mirror deformer weights?
( its in the bottom of the edit Deformers menu)

Also, check this out:

I tested it a little a long while back, and it seemed to do the trick.

Actually, here, we developed a mel script that converts weightedDeformers weights into a skinCluster, then do the mirrors on this copy, then reconvert the skinCluster weights into the deformer.
Quite fast, and reliable.

Should even be simpler to code and faster in pyhon.

yeah,maybe you are right,but i think it's a little complex,i think there is must be a good way to get and copy the weights.

ok, i know how to use this tool. This is just a tool that mirror one deformer weight on one object. and the deformer's center pivot must be the same as the geometry deformed. That's not my need. I should get a tool mirror the clusters' weight just like the joints.And this tool is not in 2009. Also thanks, man!
