Abracadabra

Abracadabra is not magic, but works with it!

Abracadabra is a pure-Python implementation of the UNIX command file (although still incomplete). What Abracadabra does is parse libmagic's "magic" file and then iterates over the rules described there trying to match the file type. If found it returns the file type.

➜  Marco git:(master) ✗ ./abracadabra.py common.pyc
common.pyc: python 2.7 byte-compiled
➜  Marco git:(master) ✗ ./abracadabra.py abracadabra.py

Missing stuff:

Return mime type

Known issues:

Indirect offsets are not working correctly (although I've followed the documentation) affecting binary detection
