pyxattr - A python module for accessing filesystem Extended Attributes

Welcome to the homepage of pyxattr. This python 2.2+ extension module allows you to manipulate the extended attributes present in some os/filesystem combinations.

Downloads: go here. Latest version is 0.3.0.

Requirements: pyxattr has been designed and tested on Linux, kernel v 2.4, with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should work also. If any other platform implements the same behavior, pyxattr could be used.

Documentation: the module is very simple, it exposes just four functions (list, get, set, remove). See the built-in documentation using pydoc after installing the module.

License: pyxattr is released under the GNU LGPL, version 3 or later. Copyright © 2002-2008 by Iustin Pop. Versions previous to 0.3 were released under GPL v2 or later.
