Hello,
I have no idea how this works on Windows. Note that this library only supports Unix-style extended attributes, so even if the install problem is sorted, I'm not sure if would do anything useful.
Just curious, why do you want to install it?

I'm one of the (new) developers of rdiff-backup, trying to get a working Windows/Python development environment running (as a Linux guy sigh). I was under the, now obviously erroneous, impression that extended attributes are also something concerning Windows, and hence trying to get it installed.
Ah well, sorry for the noise,
from pyxattr.
Well, there might be some similar things for Windows, but I'm not familiar with it, so this specific library doesn't support it. I wouldn't mind adding support if it makes sense.

Sorry for bumping an old issue, but I came across this one while searching for a Python module that would support "*xattr" on Windows.
Windows actually supports "extended attributes", though much less prominently than *nix/macOS. The functions to access "EA"s, as Windows calls them, are not even part of the public API, but they're documented here. If pyxattr
could support Windows, that would be fantastic.
FWIW, searching further, I came across this project, which actually implements reading/writing of EAs from Python; maybe this can be integrated into pyxattr
?
