There are two glitches, you got mails in private about these. Doing a first round of tests showed regressions so far. Hence, here is a preliminary packaging of python-magic for Debian: https://www.in-ulm.de/~cbiedl/debian/python-magic/python-magic_0.4.15-1~exp1.dsc Debianites, please give it a try. About the deprecation warning: I figured out right now (at least for Debian) it would mostly scare users. Once Christos acknowledges your work (hopefully) and deprecates the [file] python-magic implementation, it's about time to alert authors of programs that use python-magic but no earlier. Therefore I created a switch that mutes that warning unless a PYTHONMAGIC_WARN_DEPRECATED environment variable is set, patch below. Using this switch, users can already test whether a particular application needs an adjustment for the [pypi] API. At least in Debian, I expect this transition to take two years anyway. Cheers, Christoph
