Hi, I am trying to modify the Ubuntu One File syncing python scripts to not including things like .iso's.

I have got as far as finding this file: /usr/share/pyshared/ubuntuone/u1sync/constants.py

Inside is this piece of code:

import re

# the name of the directory u1sync uses to keep metadata about a mirror
METADATA_DIR_NAME = u".ubuntuone-sync"

# filenames to ignore
SPECIAL_FILE_RE = re.compile(".*\\.("
                             "(u1)?partial|part|"
                             "(u1)?conflict(\\.[0-9]+)?)$")

How can I edit this last section (regex?) and make it ignore .iso files??? I'm fairly sure this is the place to put it!

Pretty sure this is standard python action :)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks kindly.

Andy
