Currently, there is no license specified with this project. The github ToS gives us the right to view and fork your repo, but aside from that things fall back to the Berne Convention, namely that you, as the author, are automatically assigned copyright (and haven't granted anyone else permission). That is, without an explicit license, legally the rest of us can do very little with your code, particularly in a corporate environment.

The good news is that since you're the only author, it's very easy for you to fix this - you can just assign a license now. If you don't already have one in mind, http://choosealicense.com/ and https://tldrlegal.com/ will probably be helpful in choosing one, and I would be glad to answer any questions that I can as well.

Packaging up the project would allow it be a simple pip install away for others, and allows them to keep up to date much easier with upstream changes than if they vendorize it.

I am not yet very skilled at Python, but looking at this lib, I got an idea. Would it be possible to upload FTP on the fly using this library? So instead of tracking progress, you would upload the current state of buffer (io library)?

Just a thought. I cannot seem to find a solution to backup tar on the fly using Python. Avoid storing on disk first and in memory.

such as print '…………'
should be like print ('……')
