Description

Most of the initial code is contributed by luigi project Started as discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/luigi-user/ZLGJCj0dBJI

... As a Luigi user for the past couple of years, I have found out that I am using the concept of Luigi targets in most of the projects I was working on. Transparent file system, atomic write/reads, formats is a great functionality, and is highly missing from the global Python eco system. Moreover, going over multiple workflow management project implementations(mrjob,airflow) I have always been surprised to see yet another implementation of the abstraction over fs/ssh/s3/ftp/etc all over again.

As a developer, and especially as a Python developer, I want to focus on implementation of my business requirements, instead of working with low level filesystem APIs. The standard “open” function is simply not strong enough. ...
