[sleuthkit-developers] Python module - Magic number file checking

[Roberto A. <g.r...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am developing a file ingest module in Python and I would like to check
the format of each file. Using tsk/autopsy APIs I found the possibility to
use file.getNameExtension() or file.getMIMEType() that don't really satisfy
my requirements. Is there any other method (that may check the magic
number)? or is there any way to use python-magic?

Thank you,
Roberto
