After putting the magic1.dll file to C:\Program Files\Python25\DLLs (looking at the directory structure, that seemed as good a place as any), now I can *import* the module, but...
>>> import magic >>> test = magic.Magic() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 32, in __init__ File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 72, in _check_error magic.MagicException: could not find any magic files! I've placed 474,146 magic 1,037,440 magic.mgc 32,203 magic.mime 45,696 magic.mime.mgc 77,312 magic1.dll into C:\windows\system32 in Windows/System PATH AND (simultaneously) C:\Program Files\python25\DLLs in sys.path/PYTHONPATH (I've also tried putting copies into different dirs in both PYTHONPATH and system PATH, to no avail.) Obviously, magic1.dll/magic.py (et al) can't FIND the needed file(s), but I'm not sure how to go about discerning WHERE it/they are looking - any thought(s)/suggestion(s), anyone?? Thanks in advance! -Larry P.S.: Thanks, again, Michael! ;) - L -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
