Re: Bundling pynfs as a python package

[bfields@fieldses.org (J. Bruce Fields)]

Sigh.  So, last year I thought I'd continue pynfs maintenance on a
volunteer basis, but I don't think I'm going to after all.  Is anyone
else interested?

I could just blindly merge things like this and push them out, but it'd
really be better to have someone that will actually take the time to, at
a minimum, do some testing....
