If this works on Windows, I'm hooked.<p>How come I didn't read anything about PyFilesystem earlier? It is perfect for both quick and dirty tools and complex applications.<p>EDIT: Ok, I just reached the part of the video where you mount a directory, a virtual folder and the contents of a zip file under the same "mount_fs" object as if it was a folder. This is officially awesome.
I have some questions, but I thought it would be better suited to a new post:<p>- how does this library handles accents and other strange characters?<p>- how much of it is multiplatform?<p>- can it handle files in the internet (aside from the S3 that I've seen it does)?<p>- hows the exception handling/reliability?
For those using jvm languages (Jython anyone?), Apache commons VFS provides similar capabilities.<p><a href="http://commons.apache.org/vfs/" rel="nofollow">http://commons.apache.org/vfs/</a>
