Python library uses filetype to accurately determine file types

FileType effect

A small, free-to-open Python development package used primarily to obtain file types.

FileType Supported versions:

Python2/python3

FileType Installation:

Pip Install filetype

FileType Functional Features

? Simple and Friendly API

Support wide range file types

? provide file extension and MIME type judgment

? file MIME type extension new

? Through files (image, video, audio ...) ) Simple analysis

? Pluggable: Add a match for a new custom type

Fast, even when dealing with large files

? Only the top 261 bytes are required to represent the maximum file header, so you can pass a single byte

? dependent on freedom (just Python code, no extensions for C, no libmagic bindings)

? cross-platform file recognition

code example:

ImportfiletypedefMain (): Kind= Filetype.guess ('tests/fixtures/sample.jpg')    ifKind isNone:Print('cannot guess file type!')        return    Print('File Extension:%s'%kind.extension)Print('File MIME Type:%s'%kind.mime)if __name__=='__main__': Main ()
