Wow... you guys sure did it the hard way. If you had done it at the Python level, you would have had a much easier time of both implementing and updating it. As an example, have a look at my osVFS stuff. This is a replacement for the os module and open() that tricks Python into using a virtual file system; http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/projects/osVFS -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
