PyFilesystem

This is neat.  It's a filesystem module for Python that lets you work with your files using a single set of code, without having to worry about whether the files are regular operating system files, inside a Zip archive, hosted on Amazon S3, on an FTP server, or whatever.

It also has a very nice built-in security model - you can map a virtual filesystem to any part of the OS (or other) filesystem, and it will prevent you from accessing files outside that area.  I have code for that built-in to the file management routines in Minx, but if I can use this library - and get Zip, FTP, and S3 support for free - then that's a nice little win.
