Apparent variances in python3-magic cause script to fail
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Right now, it appears that the version of python3-magic that BitCurator is preferring is not compatible with the script:
/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/magic.py
Generates "module 'magic' has no attribute open"
Though if the following version is installed
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/magic.py
The script will work. More investigation needed... (more soon!)
Thanks to Jessica Venlet (@jesmven) for reporting.
Python magic is kind of all over the place, so I'm changing this to an improvement task to make the "magic" requirement more precise and formalized in the code.
Default to magic that installs with pip3 install python-magic; fallback for the other magic (what the code was previously relying on).
Tested in one case; leaving it open for a while to let others test it.
