- This directory contains Python bindings to allow you to access the
 
- libmagic api. At the moment their status is "experimental" and
 
- they are not built by default. You may need to edit include and library
 
- search paths in setup.py so that python's distutils build process can 
 
- find the magic header and lib files.
 
- In order to be able to compile magic-python you need to have python
 
- and the python-dev packages installed.
 
- Python libraries are always built for a particular version of Python
 
- (2.2, 2.3, etc), and libraries built for one version will not be seen
 
- by another.
 
- To build:
 
- $ python setup.py build
 
- Now, you can install the modules:
 
- $ cp build/lib.*/magic.so /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/
 
- (the directory /usr/lib/python2.3 may vary, depending on your installation)
 
- magic-python should work now!
