Hello, I need to determine programmatically a file type from its

I searched for a suitable Python library module, with little luck. Do
you know something useful ?
Python-magic (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-magic/0.1) wraps
libmagic -- the same thing that "file" uses -- but getting it on windows
is a pain. I have never been able to do it, anyway.
A more cross-platform library with a similar scope is hachoir. Still
seems to be available from PyPI, but the website seems to have fallen
off the 'net.
