 * Check out [http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/filelike/0.2.2 filelike]

Note: this idea was originally written for SoC 2005. Since then [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0355/ PEP 355] was written, which describes an interface for a path object. This should serve as the basis for any implementation.

There are several object-oriented ways to access filesystems in Python, though none have reached a critical mass of popularity. Two instances are [http://codespeak.net/py/current/doc/ py.local] and [http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/ path].

Given that OO interface, you can create objects that look like filesystems but access other resources, like WebDAV servers, databases, etc. py.local contains an implementation that accesses a svn repository.

One of these could be extended, or a generic interface for filesystems could be developed alongside several functional implementations of that interface.
