I don'nt have much experience with windows ui work, so I won't comment on that

For S3 take a look at the boto library

https://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

For http take a look at requests

http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/

When it comes to web services development, I like Django, but Flask has a good repuation as well.

If you search github for python and s3, you will find a lot of code, some of it may be easily adapted to do some of the things you want.

This for example backs up directories to s3

Best of luck

Hi All,

Vicky suggested that I post here.

I have a bit of a background in python, developing functions, regular expressions, algorithms as part of a large python integration codebase but this time around I am aiming to do something more focused on a user.

I want to build an application similar to subversion/ dropbox, etc. that sits on a PC and uploads files to a server such as AWS.

As there are so many development environments, plugins, choices, (pyside versus pyqt), etc. it would be great if I could get help from an experienced programmer/ developer with tool selection and who could give pointers into the required applications to successfully implement a PC file backup application.

The project is as follows:

 1. Develop an application that will have a resident folder where
    files can be stored.
 2. Application accessible via system tray
 3. Application uses http to post information back to server
 4. Server processes information and inserts into appropriate database.
 5. Application can be installed on another windows PC and sync with
    files in server based on


Does anyone have any pointers?
Are there any tutorials on offer that might help with the above?
Does anyone give tutorials (paid or free) that might cater to the above project? Are there any meetups where people working on different projects can collaborate?

Regards,
Seán
