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);
