Server cannot handle directory named 'get' about pytest-sftpserver

Nothing is forcing you to use dictionaries as the content object that is served.

You can just as easily use regular python classes:

class Content:
    def __init__(self):
        self.get = "something"

def test_something(sftpserver):
    with sftpserver.serve_content(Content()):
        pass

Thanks for your input. I have opted to wrap dict recursively into subscriptable objects.
This way I can continue to use python's native dict syntax.

def test_sftp_fetch(sftpserver):
    with sftpserver.serve_content(wrap({'get': {'somefile.txt': "File content"}})):
        assert get_sftp_file(sftpserver.host, sftpserver.port, "user",
                             "pw", "/get/somefile.txt") == "File content"


def wrap(delegate):
    for key, value in delegate.items():
        if isinstance(value, dict):
            delegate[key] = wrap(value)
    return DictWrapper(delegate)


class DictWrapper:
    def __init__(self, delegate):
        self._delegate = delegate

    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return self._delegate[item]

Yes, that of course also is a valid solution.

If you don't have any objections I'll close this issue.

The workaround is sufficient for now.
