Hi Justin, I packaged python-xattr in order to be usable with Apple's Calendar server. python pyxattr and python-xattr provide a module that is named xattr. The python-xattr upstream author told me about this:

It seems python-pyxattr doesn't have any reverse dependencies currently in Debian. What about dropping python-pyxattr in favour of python-xattr? I have python-xattr already packaged at: git clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/python-xattr/.git I'd be happy to add you as either maintainer or co-maintainer, what do you think.
