Hey there. Is there any known way to use XATTRs (which Cygwin seems to support in some way, at least the standard attr(1) tool seems to work and somehow map them into the Windows world) with Python?
The `os` module of Python3 (>3.3) comes with: os.getxattr() os.listxattr() os.removexattr() os.setxattr() (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#linux-extended-attributes) but these seem to be missing from the Cygwin python packages. There is even an upstream bug (https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/90026) about this, which has however been closed (not because it would be fixed, but because Cygwin is no officially maintained platform). There are two external python modules that support xattrs: python-xattr (https://github.com/xattr/xattr) python-pyxattr (https://pyxattr.k1024.org/) but neither seems to be available in Cygwin. Any ideas or change to get one of these (ideally the ones from os) running?
