# pylibacl
This is a Python 3.7+ extension module allows you to manipulate the
POSIX.1e Access Control Lists present in some OS/file-systems
combinations.
Downloads: go to <https://pylibacl.k1024.org/downloads>. Latest
version is 0.7.2. The source repository is either at
<https://git.k1024.org/pylibacl.git> or at
<https://github.com/iustin/pylibacl>.
For any issues, please file bugs at
<https://github.com/iustin/pylibacl/issues>.
See the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file for details on how to contribute, or
support me on [ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/iustin).
## Requirements
pylibacl has been written and tested on Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer,
with XFS filesystems; ext2/ext3 should also work. Since release 0.4.0,
FreeBSD 7 also has quite good support. If any other platform
implements the POSIX.1e draft, pylibacl can be used. I heard that
Solaris does, but I can't test it.
- Python 3.7 or newer. Python 2.4+ was supported in the 0.5.x branch,
Python 3.4+ in the 0.6 branch.
- Operating system:
- Linux, kernel v2.4 or newer, and the libacl library and
development packages (all modern distributions should have this,
under various names); also the file-systems you use must have
ACLs turned on, either as a compile or mount option.
- FreeBSD 7.0 or newer.
- The sphinx python module, for your python version, if building the
documentation.
## FreeBSD
Note that on FreeBSD, ACLs are not enabled by default (at least on UFS
file systems). To enable them, run `tunefs -a enabled` on the file
system in question (after mounting it read-only). Then install:
- `pkg install py36-setuptools py36-sphinx`
or:
- `pkg install py37-setuptools`
