Python wrapper for extended filesystem attributes

xattr is a Python wrapper for extended filesystem attributes. xattr also ships with an xattr command line tool for viewing and editing extended filesystem attributes. On platforms that support or ship with the attr package, you may prefer to use the getfattr and setfattr command line tools from the attr package. Extended attributes extend the basic attributes of files and directories in the file system. They are stored as name:data pairs associated with file system objects (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
