Yes I did I was trying to do something like (pseudo code)
write: get files in path for each filename get size, type create dic called filename assign size:xx,type:y pickle to file read: open pickled file read dict name and contents (hoping unpickling file gives me the dict name as it was saved, which may not be true) do stuff with file and thats it. My prog is a bit more complex than this but this is the general idea basically read files -> create dicts of files one at a time, very similar to bittorrent in that take a file smash to bits and store links to bits in a big file.
