- how does this library handles accents and other strange characters? Should be unicode throughout. - how much of it is multiplatform? All of it, with the exception perhaps of the fuse support, which requires support on the platform. - can it handle files in the internet (aside from the S3 that I've seen it does)? There's an ftp filesystem, and a XMLRPC server/client filesystem - hows the exception handling/reliability? Care is taken so that the filesystem implementations only throw exceptions derived from FSError. Generally you can also retrieve the original exception from the FSError instance...
