Nope -- it's only of use under windows (and possibly the Mac or
anywhere Palm's Hotsync works, I guess, if someone could get it
compiled).  What it does is expose the low levels of the hotsync
conduit interface into Python -- making it possible to develop
conduits in Python.

Pyrite is a replacement for the hotsync/conduit mechanism that uses
the pilot-link (Unix-ish) pilot tools.  

You could possibly even use pyrite/pilot-link on windows -- I did some
work awhile ago to get pilot-link stuff to work on windows -- but it
would not integrate well into your world if you use Palm's Hotsync.
