CCing Dan which introduced python3-pyxattr in EPEL some time ago.

The problem could be that python3-pyxattr seems to be available (as a
released package) only in EPEL77:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/python3-pyxattr

Maybe Dan could say more what is a status of python3-pyxattr in CentOS 8?

Regarding py3libacl it could be more tricky as I (as the maintainer of
pylibacl and pyxaatr in Fedora) don't use CentOS/RHEL on a daily basis
and I wouldn't like to take the responsibility for py3libacl in EPEL.

However, I might me completely wrong with the CentOS/Stream/EPEL stuff
and maybe both those packages can be already installed from some other
more or less official repository. Hopefully Dan can say something more
about that.
