i use -m already.  here's a bit more of that function:

    def list(cls, item, nofollow=False, namespace=None, _names_only=True):
        cmd = ['getfattr', '-d', '--absolute-names', item]
        if nofollow:
            cmd += ['-h']
        cmd += ['-m', ('^%s[.]' % namespace) if namespace else '']
        proc = cls._call(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

so when there's no namespace specified, it ends up doing:
	getfattr -d --absolute-names /path/file -m ''

which is effectively the same thing, but i can change the '' to '-' since that's 
what the documentation suggests.
