Hi Adam,

are there any news on the subject?

The release of Tryton, that will require python-magic is scheduled for next
week. It would be a great service to our users and simplify things a lot, if we
had a common python-magic in place. Please let us know, if we can help with the
planned merge.

Thanks,
Mathias
