Yes, I first tried in CentOS 7, but it's still missing py3libacl.

Looks like I'll have to figure out how to install a .whl file, but isn't that going to leave me without py3libacl, which I believe is a binary and not a python script, and I'm not sure pyxattr is going to be included. I need to have both ACLs and extended attributes supported. Really, I'd much rather be testing this in CentOS 7, since my CentOS 8 VM is proving quite troublesome (can't get DNS to start up consistently).
