 Hi there,

 I tried to install bup (github.com/apenwarr/bup/), whose tests fail
 because 'python-xattr module is too old; install python-pyxattr instead.'

 I only found these on macports:
 > port search xattr|grep python
 py-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
 py24-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
 py25-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
 py26-xattr @0.6.1 (python)
 py27-xattr @0.6.1 (python)

 Is it possible to upgrade the py-xattr port to the newer version? Or to
 create an additional port fpr python-pyxattr?

 Please dont ask me what exactly the difference is, if needed I could
 contact the bup authors what exactly needs to be done/included.

 Thanks in advance,

 Johannes
