Python bindings for the FUSE (and hence refuse) interfaces. FUSE allows file sytsem operations to take place at user level, rather than in the kernel. Refuse is a BSD-licensed re-implementation of fuse, running on top of the puffs functionality. This package provides a python language interface to the FUSE interface. To achieve backwards compatibility (unlikely to be needed in 2011+) with very old versions of the fuse bindings for python, set the environment variable FUSE_PYTHON_COMPAT=0.1 This software is called "fuse-python" by upstream (and hence at least some Linux distributions).
