2 RouteFS is a base class for developing read-only FUSE filesystems that
3 lets you focus on the directory tree instead of the system calls.
5 RouteFS uses the Routes library developed for Pylons. URLs were
6 inspired by filesystems, and now you can have filesystems inspired by
9 When developing a descendent of RouteFS, any methods defined in that
10 class are considered "controllers", and receive any other parameters
11 specified by the URL as keyword arguments.
