cape.pycart.util: Utilities for pyCart

This module imports the generic utilities using

from cape.util import *

It also stores the absolute path to the folder containing the cape.pycart module as the variable pyCartFolder.

The module also provides several other methods for reading multiple files to determine the situational status of the Cart3D solution in the present working directory. These methods may be duplicated in cape.pycart.case.
