>>> f
'/etc/sysconfig'
>>> f.keys()
['harddisk', 'lm_sensors', 'ipw3945d~', 'syscheckerrc', 'mouse']
>>> f['lm_sensors']
'/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors'
>>> print str(f['lm_sensors'])
# /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors - Defines modules loaded by

Other important pakage mission is find files by the way similar
to command line find utility::

>>> import pd.find
>>> pd.find.find("/etc/sysconfig",lambda x : x.isreg() and x.check_regex(".*rc"))
<generator object at 0xb7cca7cc>
>>> for item in pd.find.find("/etc/sysconfig",lambda x : x.isreg() and x.check_regex(".*rc$")) :
... print item.path
...
/etc/sysconfig/xinitrc
/etc/sysconfig/syscheckerrc
>>>

Tests provided by File Object
-----------------------------

mtime
Return modification time

atime
Return last access time

ctime
Return creation time """
return self.__checktime_(stat.ST_CTIME)

newer
Return true if object is more newer then input path

check_name
Return true if object name are equal to input name

check_path
Return true if object path are equal to input path

check_path_regex

Return true if regexp matched object name

check_iregex
Return true if regexp matched object name

depth
Return current depth on file tree

dele
Delete file by path of current object

execute
Frm will be substituted by substring "{}" on path and executed
by os.system() call

Ho-ho. Sorry my English :)
