osx mountain lion - Is the latest version of xattr (0.6.4) compatible with the latest stable version of Python (2.7.5)? -


i'm asking question because i'm having problems installing little snitch 3.1 on mac os x mountain lion 10.8.3. indeed, i'm getting following error:

error removing quarantine on ...: python version 2.7.5 can't run /usr/bin/xattr. try alternative(s):

/usr/bin/xattr-2.5 (uses python 2.5) /usr/bin/xattr-2.6 (uses python 2.6) /usr/bin/xattr-2.7 (uses python 2.7) 

run man python more information multiple version support in mac os x.

mountain lion comes python 2.7.2. updated python version 2.7.5 using instructions found here: http://wolfpaulus.com/jounal/mac/installing_python_osx

personally, understand neither quarantine nor xattr does!

the got little snitch support was: "without macports option switch previous versions, best reinstall 10.8.3 system files os x installer disk recover python installation."

yet, followed wolf paulus' instructions because wanted avoid having several version of python on mac. wanted latest stable version, i.e. 2.7.5. suspect doing little snitch support proposes going make things messy on mac!

any in understanding problem or, better, solving issue appreciated.

thank you.
