Log Message:
py-magic: updated to 0.4.22
Changes to 0.4.21, 0.4.22
- Unify dll loader between the standard and compat library, fixing load
failures on some previously supported platforms.
Changes to 0.4.20
- merge in a compatability layer for the upstream libmagic python binding.
Since both this package and that one are called 'magic', this compat layer
removes a very common source of runtime errors. Use of that libmagic API will
produce a deprecation warning.
- support python 3.9 in tests and pypi metadata
- add support for magic_descriptor functions, which take a file descriptor
rather than a filename.
- sometimes the returned description includes snippets of the file, e.g a title
for MS Word docs. Since this is in an unknown encoding, we would throw a
unicode decode error trying to decode. Now, it decodes with
'backslashreplace' to handle this more gracefully. The undecodable characters
are replaced with hex escapes.
- add support for MAGIC_EXTENSION, to return possible file extensions.
- add mypy typing stubs file, for type checking
