Are there any python modules for accessing rsync from python? I would
like to be able to rsync files from a python script to a remote server
running an rsync daemon. I'm well aware that I can invoke rsync using
subprocess, os.system, etc., but I am curious if there is a way to do
it directly.

I found the following doing a quick Google search:

I'm not aware of a standalone rsync module for Python, but duplicity
(http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/) provides python bindings for
librsync for its own use. You could pull those in to your project.
