pyfilesystem is great!

My only suggestion would be to improve the search optimization for pypi.

It's the ~10th result for https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=pyfilesys... and a page down on https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=fs&submit...

It's really not clear what it's called since the package name is 'fs' but the project is 'pyfilesystem'.

Cheers.

Fair point. Not entirely sure how to fix that. I'll look in to it...

PKG-INFO, line 2:

Name: fs

Looks like it's also registered in PyPI as "fs", from the URL: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fs/

Maybe have a proxy https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfilesystem that has `fs` as a requirement? That way even if people install with `pip install pyfilesystem`, you're good.

Hmm. That's an idea. Feels like a hack though. Do you know if there is a precedence for that?

We're planning on something similar to move a big open source library somewhere else (so that dependencies don't break).

If you run pip install py.test it fails with a message that you should run pip install pytest.
