# Change symlink to Python version in /usr/local/bin/python to point to a
# specified version as installed by the official python.org installer for macOS
# usage: ./pyver.sh <version>
# when called without arguments, prints the currently linked Python version
# This is useful for use with pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) which can only
# handle a single "system" python version and offers no way to switch between multiple

"""Copy a file on macOS using native API.
This allows copied files to use copy-on-write when used on a volume formatted with APFS.

When used on an APFS volume, a file copied with this function will be copied almost instantly
and will not use any additional disk space until the file is modified.

To use, you will need to install pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa:

    `python3 -m pip install pyobjc-core pyobjc-framework-Cocoa`

"""Set metadata on macOS files using undocumented function MDItemSetAttribute

Background: Apple provides MDItemCopyAttribute to get metadata from files:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1427080-mditemcopyattribute?language=objc

but does not provide a documented way to set file metadata.

This script shows how to use the undocumented function MDItemSetAttribute to do so.

`pip install pyobjc` to install the required Python<-->Objective C bridge package.
