+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).
+
+Extended attributes are currently only available on Darwin 8.0+ (Mac 
+OS X 10.4) and Linux 2.6+. Experimental support is included for Solaris
+and FreeBSD).

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
