pathmap

This package provides similar functionality to the Unix find command, but in a much more pythonic fashion. A PathMap object encapsulates a number of rules that define how to traverse a directory structure and try to match the paths along the way. The PathMap.walk method takes one or more root paths to start from and generates a MatchResult object for any path it encounters that match its rules.

The package is built upon the scandir package which provides effiecient directroy listing and the ability to avoid unneeded 'stat' calls on the paths being generated.
