filestruct
filestruct is both a command line tool and a library of functions
(well - a couple of classes really).

As a command line tool it will do 'remote-directory syncs'. It will
profile a directory, then reprofile and record all changes into a
single zip file. It can then use that zip file to make the same set of
changes on a remote copy of the file structure. Useful when you
maintain two copies of the same file structure in different locations.
(I work on various projects at home and at work).
As a library of functions it has the ability to profile file
structures producing a directory object - DirObj. This can write out
the description as a markup language (FSDM - file structure
description markup), and read it in to recreate the DirObj. It can
then compare this with the current state of the file structure. This
could also be the basis of, for example, an incremental archive,
version control system etc In fact anything where changes to a file
system need to be monitored. Full docs of course....
Splitter

This is a piece of code that has been written various times by many
people - but dammit python makes this kind of hacking so much fun !
It's a simple class that can split files and recombine them
automatically, with various attributes to control how it does it.
