        [PairTree] [1] is a technique from the digital preservation community for 
        safely mapping identifiers to file paths, and back again. It can be helpful 
        when writing resources to disk so that they can be identified later on by 
        merely looking at the filesystem layout.
        
        The ptree module has two functions to help you work with PairTree identifiers 
        and file paths: `id2ptree` and `ptree2id`. 
        
        ```python
        >>> import ptree
        >>> ptree.id2ptree("info:lccn/12345678")
        '/in/fo/+l/cc/n=/12/34/56/78/'
        >>> ptree.ptree2id('/in/fo/+l/cc/n=/12/34/56/78/')
        u'info:lccn/12345678'
        ```
        
        Thanks
        ------
        
        ptree draws from Ben O'Steen's [PairTree] [2] Python module, which provides a 
        lot more functionality for storing bitstreams on disk. ptree intentionally
        focuses soley on the identifier/filepath mapping, and leaves IO operations up 
        to you. The unit tests were shamlessly stolen from John Kunze's 
        [File::PairTree] [3].
