twisted.python.filepath : API documentation

Class	InsecurePath	Error that is raised when the path provided to FilePath is invalid.
Class	LinkError	An error with symlinks - either that there are cyclical symlinks or that symlink are not supported on this platform.
Class	UnlistableError	An exception which is used to distinguish between errors which mean 'this is not a directory you can list' and other, more catastrophic errors.
Class	FilePath	I am a path on the filesystem that only permits 'downwards' access.
Function	_stub_islink	Always return 'false' if the operating system does not support symlinks.
Function	_stub_urandom	Provide random data in versions of Python prior to 2.4. This is an effectively compatible replacement for 'os.urandom'.
Function	_stub_armor	ASCII-armor for random data. This uses a hex encoding, although we will prefer url-safe base64 encoding for features in this module if it is available.
Class	_WindowsUnlistableError	This exception is raised on Windows, for compatibility with previous releases of FilePath where unportable programs may have done "except WindowsError:" around a call to children().
Function	_secureEnoughString	Create a pseudorandom, 16-character string for use in secure filenames.
Class	_PathHelper	Abstract helper class also used by ZipPath; implements certain utility methods.
