puremagic is a pure python module that will identify a file based off
it's magic numbers.
It is designed to be minimalistic and inherently cross platform
compatible. It is also designed to be a stand in for python-magic, it
incorporates the functions from_file(filename[, mime]) and
from_string(string[, mime]) however the magic_file() and magic_string()
are more powerful and will also display confidence and duplicate
matches.
It does NOT try to match files off non-magic string. In other words it
will not search for a string within a certain window of bytes like
others might.
Advantages over using a wrapper for 'file' or 'libmagic':
* Faster
* Lightweight
* Cross platform compatible
* No dependencies
Disadvantages:
* Does not have as many file types
* No multilingual comments
* Duplications due to small or reused magic numbers
