Is there a uniform python library to transfer files using different protocols

I know there is ftplib for ftp, shutil for local files, what about NFS? I know urllib2 can get files via HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS, but it can't put files.

If there is a uniform library that automatically detects the protocol (FTP/NFS/LOCAL) with URI and deals with file transfer (get/put) transparently, it's even better, does it exist?

You want to look up and use pycurl/libcurl. Libcurl: http://curl.haxx.se/ PyCurl: http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/ - curl supports the http://, file://, and ftp:// uris. I have used it with much success.

Have a look at KDE IOSlaves. They can manage all the protocol you describe, plus a few others (samba, ssh, ...).

You can instantiates IOSlaves through PyKDE or if that dependency is too big, you can probably manage the ioslave from python with the subprocess module.
