Known issues

gotchaDo not install typecode-libmagic directly unless you are building a ScanCode plugin environment. For general use, rely on typecode which pulls this plugin automatically.

fix

Install typecode instead: pip install typecode

affects: all

breakingIn versions prior to 1.0.0, the provider class was located in a different module. Update imports if upgrading from an older release.

fix

Use from typecode_libmagic import LibmagicPathProvider

affects: <1.0.0

deprecatedThe old method get_libmagic() is deprecated in favor of get_libmagic_path() which returns a path string.

fix

Replace provider.get_libmagic() with provider.get_libmagic_path()

affects: >=1.0.0
