Traceback while using the magic package

[niteshnarayanlal]

Already have python3-magic installed.

Thanks for the report! I'm looking into this.

AttributeError: module 'magic' has no attribute 'open'

Can you provide the version of python3-magic you are seeing this with.

$ python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.__file__); print(magic.open.__doc__)'
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/magic.py

    Returns a magic object on success and None on failure.
    Flags argument as for setflags.
$  rpm -q --qf "%{VERSION}\n" python3-magic
5.37
$

Could it possibly be module naming collision like this?

[root@virtlab1003 filetranspiler]# python3 -c 'import magic; print(magic.file); print(magic.open.doc)'
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/magic.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
AttributeError: module 'magic' has no attribute 'open'

[root@lab filetranspiler]# rpm -q --qf "%{VERSION}\n" python3-magic
5.33

Somehow I didn't have the file-magic package installed. Installing that solved the issue, thanks for looking into it.
