README
puremagic is a pure python module that will identify a file based off it's magic numbers. It is designed to be minimalistic and inherently cross platform compatible. It is also designed to be a stand in for python-magic, it incorporates the functions from_file(filename[, mime]) and from_string(string[, mime]) however the magic_file() and magic_string() are more powerful and will also display confidence and duplicate matches. It does NOT try to match files off non-magic string. In other words it will not search for a string within a certain window of bytes like others might. Advantages over using a wrapper for 'file' or 'libmagic': * Faster * Lightweight * Cross platform compatible * No dependencies Disadvantages: * Does not have as many file types * No multilingual comments * Duplications due to small or reused magic numbers
