Description (last modified by raimue (Rainer Müller))

Hi there,

I tried to install bup (github.com/apenwarr/bup/), whose tests fail because 'python-xattr module is too old; install python-pyxattr instead.'

I only found these on macports:

> port search xattr|grep python
py-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
py24-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
py25-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
py26-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
py27-xattr @0.6.1 (python)

Is it possible to upgrade the py-xattr port to the newer version? Or to create an additional port fpr python-pyxattr?

Please dont ask me what exactly the difference is, if needed I could contact the bup authors what exactly needs to be done/included.

Thanks in advance,

Johannes

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyxattr is a different module to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xattr and the latter is what is provided by the py-xattr port. (It's also outdated, but that would be a different ticket.)

Any news? Is it possible to add a new port for python-pyxattr?

Thanks, Johannes

I created a portfile (or rather modified an existing one), and I get stuck here:

The developer, whom I asked for help, said the xattr.h should be installed by some devel-package on linux machines. Where to get it on OSX? Shouldn't it be somewhere in the xattr port?

Thanks, Johannes

Does this package work on OS X? AFAIK, Linux extended attributes use a different API than OS X and BSD extended attributes. That's why, for example, the new standard library support for extended attributes in Python 3.3 is only supported on Linux at the moment: http://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#linux-extended-attributes
