  Description     : xattr is a Python wrapper for extended filesystem attributes

 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).
 .
 This module provides a class like as well as a funtion based interfaces
 for manipulating these attributes.

The main difference to python-pyxattr is that it additionally provides a
dictionary like interface. It's used by dav enabled twisted. There's
currently a namespace conflict with python-pyxattr which is why I'm not
uploading right away, so current git is at:
