I had considered a pull rather than a push approach, but went with the latter becasue of a logic issue.
1/ The sync, regardless of push or pull is left to right, [if new or change on left then copy, if only on right then delete].
2/ I really want to include addons in the sync.
3/ This is an addon

With a pull model, won't the client/target/right side versions of this addon get overwritten every time the sync is executed? that would override any local settings, make every instance look like the master, etc...

I'm not saying that pull won't work, just that I can't get my head around part of it. Again, this is supposed to be a learning exercise.

I'd be glad to help out, but if you could be more specific in asking targeted questions, I could give you better advice.

OK

1. How, in python, do a inititiate a call to a remote instance of XBMC (identifed by a IP4 address) to return:
   
   1. the OS of the remote instance.
      
   2. the full path to the userdata folder on the remote machine
      

Again, not dismissing the pull approach, just trying to see if I can get the push to work first.
