Get file's “get info” attributes in mac using python

Question

I have mounted a drive.

In it\'s \"Get Info\", I have an attribute named Image Disk

The location: /private/var/run/vmware/fuse/10323660103412

Answer 1

Use the getxattr function from the xattr module, which is a Python binding to the native function getxattr(2). For example:

import xattr
print xattr.getattr('/Volumes/MyDrive', 'Image Disk')
