Directory Caching, suggestions and comments?

Folks,
I am going to be using this code as part of a web system, and I would love
any feedback, comments and criticism.
Just as a side note, I'm not completely PEP 8. I know that, I use a
slightly laxer setting in pylint, but I'm working my way up to it...
I am using scandir from benhoyt to speed up the directory listings, and
data collection.
The module is here as well,
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/241415/misc/directory_caching_v1.py
I had considered using OrderedDicts, but I really didn't see how that would
help the system.
I'm not completely happy with the return_sort_* functions, since they
return two different tuples, one goal was to try to keep everything in the
dictionary, but I couldn't think of a better method.
So any suggestions are welcome.

Directory Caching system.
Used to cache & speed up directory listing.
Preqs -
Scandir - https://github.com/benhoyt/scandir
scandir is a module which provides a generator version of
os.listdir() that also exposes the extra file information the
operating system returns when you iterate a directory.
Generally 2-3 (or more) times faster than the standard library.
(It's quite noticeable!)
