This kind of whitelisting does absolutely nothing. It's a straight up lolbin. Anyway, if python is allowed, then surely other languages can be added to whitelist. Ask them to whitelist go and use syncthing

replywell, aside from getting students more interested in programming, apparently.
trust me, I've tried asking for other programs to be on the whitelist. if they didn't allow firefox, they definitely won't allow synching. and I don't wanna get in trouble either lol

replyThat’s perfectly valid. Maybe add it to the top of your readme explaining what problem it solves (need to sync files between machines and all you can use is python).
replyMy initial thought was, man, your school is lame. But maybe it's genius? Creativity thrives in a constrained environment.
