gdt 457a638374 Update to 0.2.1. Note in DESCR that this is what GNU/Linux calls
"fuse-python".

Upstream does not provide NEWS.  Perusal of Changelog leads to the
conclusion that there are many bugfixes and minor enhancements, but no
major changes.

(Tested with "bup fuse" and ../fuse-wikipediafs on NetBSD 5.1_STABLE.)

Python bindings for the FUSE (and hence refuse) interfaces.
FUSE allows file sytsem operations to take place at user level, rather
than in the kernel. Refuse is a BSD-licensed re-implementation of
fuse, running on top of the puffs functionality. This package
provides a python language interface to the FUSE interface.
To achieve backwards compatibility (unlikely to be needed in 2011+)
with very old versions of the fuse bindings for python, set the
environment variable
FUSE_PYTHON_COMPAT=0.1
This software is called "fuse-python" by upstream (and hence at least
some Linux distributions).
