Two PyPI modules claim to do the magic number guessing thing: - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-magic/0.1 is a ctypes wrapper around libmagic -- no sdist ;( - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/magic/0.1 has its own database inlined in the module. It has no distributions at all, just a link to a bare magic.py file.
