# python-magic
|
|
|
|
python-magic is a python interface to the libmagic file type
|
|
identification library. libmagic identifies file types by checking
|
|
their headers according to a predefined list of file types. This
|
|
functionality is exposed to the command line by the Unix command
|
|
`file`.
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
>>> import magic
|
|
>>> magic.from_file("testdata/test.pdf")
|
|
'PDF document, version 1.2'
|
|
>>> magic.from_buffer(open("testdata/test.pdf").read(1024))
|
|
'PDF document, version 1.2'
|
|
>>> magic.from_file("testdata/test.pdf", mime=True)
|
|
'application/pdf'
|
|
|
|

## Author
|
|
|
|
Written by Adam Hupp in 2001 for a project that never got off the
|
|
ground. It origionally used SWIG for the C library bindings, but
|
|
switched to ctypes once that was part of the python standard library.
