  Description     : Python package for caching results of operations on heavy 
file trees

     fscacher is a Python module which provides a cache and decorator for
     memoizing functions whose outputs depend upon the contents of a file 
argument.
     .
     If you have a function 'foo()' that takes a file path as its first 
argument,
     and if the behavior of 'foo()' is pure in the *contents* of the path and 
the
     values of its other arguments, 'fscacher' can help cache that function.
     It caches the outputs of 'foo()' will be cached for each set of input 
arguments and
     for a "fingerprint" (timestamps and size) of each 'path'.  If 'foo()' is
     called twice with the same set of arguments, the result from the first call
     will be reused for the second, unless the file pointed to by 'path' 
changes,
     in which case the function will be run again.
