xattr and pyxattr both import as xattr... :confused:
I'm using pyxattr as module in my code, but in order to do so, I need to pip uninstall xattr first - which then breaks the xattr command (OS: Xubuntu 20.04)
:cry:
Is there a way to have both pip packages installed, but import them differently?
I was honestly surprised that I install "pyxattr" and then not just simply import "pyxattr" :wink:
Grateful for any advice!
(Here's a copy of the error message the broken xattr throws after making place for pyxattr, in case someone searches for it:)
