The code is based on Andrey Mirtchovski's py9p, but differs in some things:
Fuse client (fuse9p) has features not provided by other mount implementations like 9pfuse from «Plan9 from User Space» or Linux kernel's v9fs. Firstly, fuse9p supports authentication (right now only pki). Having comparable speed with v9fs on big read/write requests, it is up to several hundreds times faster in reading directories. And will be more faster in the future :)
You can also use the library without installation, but in this case you
should set up PYTHONPATH manually and run make force-version
to update
all *.in files.
