Mac OS X 10.5 comes with a Python "xattr" package pre-installed, which the xattr command-line utility is built on top of. Furthermore, the resource fork can be accessed as an extended attribute (xattr.XATTR_RESOURCEFORK_NAME). This might also be true of Mac OS X 10.4, but I don't recall for sure and I don't have access to it to check. -Miles -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
