Run Rsync from Python

Question

I need to run an rsync command from Python. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it? ``` rsync -Ccavz --delete DJStatic username@website ```

Accepted Answer

You can call a subprocess from python using the following snippet

```
import subprocess
subprocess.call(["ls", "-l"])
```

In your case, it would be something like this

```
subprocess.call(["rsync", "-Ccavz", "--delete","DJStatic", "username@website"])
```
