Thanks for the patch. I have no way to test OSX, I'll see if I can configure travis-ci for it. |

OK, travis-ci can test this, and it was trivial to set it up. Thanks! |

Closes #9054 There are two xattr packages in Python, pyxattr [1] and xattr [2]. They have different APIs. In old days pyxattr supports Linux only and xattr supports Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris, and pyxattr supports Linux only. Recently pyxattr adds support for Mac OS X. [3] An old version of [2] is shipped with Mac OS X. However, some Linux distributions have pyxattr only, for example PLD-Linux [4] and old Arch Linux. [5] As a result, supporting both is the way to go.

I added some minor indirection around the base
(foo)xattrC calls so that I could create functions with the Linux signature that call the OS X versions.Note this does't handle the half-dozen OS X special cases (com.apple.ResourceFork, com.apple.FinderInfo, compressed EAs, etc.) but the API is low-level enough that it shouldn't matter in most cases (and if it does matter to someone, that's what ctypes/cffi is for).
