PyPI package for traversing extremely large FTP directory trees

FTPflow

FTPflow is a Python package for optimally traversing extremely large FTP directory trees. It constitutes the algorithmic heart of the PubData search engine. FTPflow creates a dictionary formatted as a JSON file in the user’s home directory containing all the full paths as keys and the respective filenames as values. FTPflow is designed with speed in mind by utilizing state-of-the-art high performance parallelism and concurrency algorithms to traverse FTP directory trees. The resultant hash table (i.e., dictionary) supports fast lookup for any file in any biological database.

Funding

FTPflow is financially supported by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) through the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship (NDSEG) Program. This research was conducted with Government support under and awarded by DoD, Army Research Office (ARO), National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, 32 CFR 168a.

Missing license information

See e.g. https://help.github.com/articles/open-source-licensing/

Traditionally (unless opting for the GNU GPL) use a file named LICENSE, LICENSE.txt or LICENSE.md etc if using a markup language, and put put the name of the license in the Python file header and the main README file. And in your setup.py so this information appears on PyPI

I would suggest picking an open source licence from https://opensource.org/ but as USA government funded work you might be restricted to explicitly dedicating this to the public domain. See e.g. https://opensource.org/faq

__init__.py Missing in 0.4.1

It's there in 0.4, but I think it got dropped when you renamed the package?
