pyxattr Description

pyxattr is a Python module for accessing filesystem's extended attributes. pyxattr is a Python module for accessing filesystem's extended attributes.This python 2.4+ extension module allows you to manipulate the extended attributes present in some os/filesystem combinations.Requirements:· Python >= 2.4· Linux kernel v2.4 or later, with libattr installed (all modern distributions should have this, under various names); also the filesystems you use must have EAs turned on, either as a compile or mount option.What's New in This Release:API· The old functions ({get,set,list,remove}xattr) are deprecated and replaced with a new API that is namespace-aware and hopefully will allow other OSes (e.g. FreeBSD) to be supported more naturally.· Both the old and the new API are supported in the 0.4 versions, however users are encouraged to migrate to the new API.New features· A new bulk get function called get_all() has been added that should be some what faster in case of querying files which have many attributes.License· Since LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 (which unfortunately I didn't realize before), the license was changed to LGPLv2.1 or later.Internals· Unittest coverage was improved.
