--- Begin Message ---Package: python-magic Version: 5.04-5+squeeze2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream I found the hard way that the API exported by the Python module ‘magic’ differs among different versions of the module. Impact: A Python script, developed in a Debian Linux installation using the provided python-magic package, won't work as is when transferred to a different POSIX system, which uses the python-magic package installed using the 'pip install python-magic' method. The Debian package and its documentation should be modified to provide also an API compatible with the other package. The version installed when installing the Debian package ‘python-magic’ expects the following API: import magic mymagic = magic.open(magic.MAGIC_MIME_TYPE) mymagic.load() mtype = mymagic.file(inpfname) print(”The MIME type of the file %s is %s” % (inpfname,mtype)) The version installed using ‘pip install python-magic’ expects the following API: import magic mymagic = magic.Magic(mime=True) mtype = mymagic.from_file(inpfname) print(”The MIME type of the file %s is %s” % (inpfname,mtype)) The following code allows the rest of the script to work the same way with either version of ‘magic’: import magic def build_magic(): try: mymagic = magic.open(magic.MAGIC_MIME_TYPE) mymagic.load() except AttributeError,e: mymagic = magic.Magic(mime=True) mymagic.file = mymagic.from_file return(mymagic) mymagic = build_magic() mtype = mymagic.file(inpfname) print(”The MIME type of the file %s is %s” % (inpfname,mtype)) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-magic depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libmagic1 5.04-5+squeeze2 File type determination library us ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze7 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-support 1.0.10 automated rebuilding support for P python-magic recommends no packages.
