fleep 0.2.1

File format identification library

File format identification library for Python

Getting Started

fleep is a library that identifies file format by file signature (also known as “magic number”).

Installation

You can install fleep using pip. Simply run in CLI:

pip install fleep

Requirements

• Python >= 3.0

Example

fleep has only one function get(). It takes two arguments:

• input - path to the file or array of bytes

• output - type of output values: extension or mime

There are some examples:

import fleep
print(fleep.get(input="path_to_jpg_image", output="extension")) # prints ['jpg']

import fleep
file = open("path_to_flac_file", "rb").read(1024)
print(fleep.get(input=file, output="mime")) # prints ['audio/flac']
