New submission from Benjamin Peterson <benja...@python.org>:
Extended attribute support currently exists in the os module for Linux. BSD's
(including OSX) have a similar (but of course incompatible) interface. They
should be exposed through the same functions. For example,
os.getxattr("myfile", "user.whatever")
should call on the C level
getxattr("myfile", "user.whatever", value, sizeof(value), 0, 0);
