You can (apparently) contact the maintainer ("ABO") for windows binaries 
if you need them.  He is also on the librsync project, which has as its 
latest news "0.9.6 released", and the release in 2003 of pysync was 
intended to update it to use librsync 0.9.6.  That suggests to me this 
is more a case of "things work" than a case of "dead project".

In any case, pysync itself doesn't even have code to walk the directory 
tree or send data, just the delta/patch code, so unless you plan to 
build the other parts for yourself it may not be what you need.  (On the 
other hand, if you need just the delta/patch code, it sounds like it 
should work fine.)  I haven't tried it myself (yet).
