Hi,
In the 3.9.5 documentation in the os module, the setxattr is listed
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.setxattr
but the os.py source file doesn’t have that function
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.9/Lib/os.py
Has this functionality been removed or moved to another module?
Thanks

Hi Kevin, Certain functions in the OS module are implemented in C, and imported in os.py. See https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.9/Lib/os.py#L55 and https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.9/Modules/posixmodule.c for example. Best, Pradyun
