Re: [Duplicity-talk] zfec vs. par2 (and, hello there!)

At least the command line interface do not support to file the

of which a definable count is necessary to recreate the source file. 
only one file can be processed at a time.

I don't know about the inner API as I am not python literate ... regards ede
