terminal filesystem python utilities darwin

                          When I attempt to execute xattr in Terminal, I get

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/xattr-2.7", line 33, in 
        import xattr
    ImportError: No module named xattr

What's going on here? I thought xattr was part of Darwin . Is xattr written in Python? Does it require a Python package to be installed on my system?
