The library aims at providing a simple, low-level interface for working with ZFS, either by wrapping the ``zfs(8)`` and

``zpool(8)`` CLI utilities or by accessing the native python API.

On the ZoL_ side, the code is developed mostly on version ``0.8``, and takes some validation values from that release.

The library doesn't make a lot of assumptions, the code should work on ``0.7``, too. If you spot an incompatibility,
