I'm interested in getting more information from a file using python.
I know that using os.stat (such as below) returns information on the file, but I'd like to get other attributes from the file such as 'Where from?'
os.stat(filename)
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33184, st_ino=131691855, st_dev=16777220L, st_nlink=1, st_uid=501, st_gid=20, st_size=174241, st_atime=1445046864, st_mtime=1445045836, st_ctime=1445045836)
However, these aren't the attributes I'm interested. I'm interested in getting all of the below attributes (in particular 'Where from')
How can I get the 'Where from' field?
I've tried using os.access, but that doesn't return what I want, and have been searching the documentation on os, so I'm not sure what else I can try.
My example:
xattr -lp com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms ~/Projects/apimon/apimon/check/tests/resources/brus-\>lux\ dec\ 28.pdf
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms:

looks like there is a package called xattr doesnt look bad.. (you need to pip install xattr it)
In [6]: import xattr
In [7]: x = xattr.xattr('/Users/buzzi/Projects/apimon/apimon/check/tests/resources/brus->lux dec 28.pdf')
In [8]: x.items()
Out[8]:
[(u'com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms',
'bplist00\xa2\x01\x02_\x10Thttps://be-internet.bene-system.com//hp/pdfservice?pdf=KLWVWLG1445013390236BS169201P\x08\x0bb\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00c'),
(u'com.apple.quarantine',
'0001;562127d1;Google Chrome;BF24C900-46D5-4F95-9B7B-C36AA6B0ACC7')]
More research lead me to biplist module. (you need to pip install biplist it)
>>> import biplist
>>> biplist.readPlistFromString(x.get('com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms'))
['https://be-internet.bene-system.com//hp/pdfservice?pdf=KLWVWLG1445013390236BS169201',
'']
DONE!
