refuse 0.0.2

Simple cross-plattform ctypes bindings for libfuse / FUSE for macOS / WinFsp

Synopsis

refuse is a Python module implemented using ctypes that provides a simple cross-platform interface to:

• libfuse
• FUSE for macOS
• WinFsp

refuse originated as a fork of fusepy. This fork will break with its origins in (at least) the following aspects:

• Dropping Python 2 support
• Dropping the monolithic single-file-design
• Adding libfuse3 support
• Marking libfuse2 support as deprecated
• A test suite

If you have a pending pull request against fusepy that you would like to see included into refuse please open an issue here.

Project status

THIS PROJECT HAS ALPHA STATUS. The high level API has been tested through LoggedFS-python with pjdfstest and fsx, but not in all possible modes of operation. The low level API is completely untested at this point.

Installation

refuse requires libfuse 2.8 or 2.9 (highly recommended), FUSE for macOS or WinFsp. It (theoretically) runs on:

• Linux (i386, x86_64, PPC, arm64, MIPS)
• Mac OS X (Intel, PowerPC)
• FreeBSD (i386, amd64)
• OpenBSD (all architectures, high level bindings only)
• Windows (?)
• Windows/Cygwin (?)
