# 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'
## Installation
The current stable version of python-magic is available on pypi and
can be installed by running `pip install python-magic`.
Other sources:
- pypi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-magic/

### Dependencies on Windows
On Windows, you need to download and save the following libraries under
`C:\Windows\System32`:
- `regex2.dll` from [sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/regex/](http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/regex/)
- `zlib1.dll` from [sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/zlib/](http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/zlib/)
- `magic1.dll` from [sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/file/](http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/file/)
## 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.
