TypeCode provides comprehensive filetype and mimetype detection using multiple detectors including libmagic (included as a dependency for Linux, Windows and macOS) and Pygments. It started as library in scancode-toolkit. Visit https://aboutcode.org and https://github.com/nexB/ for support and download.

We run CI tests on:

To install this package with its full capability (where the binaries for libmagic are installed), use the full option:

pip install typecode[full]

If you want to use the version of libmagic (possibly) provided by your operating system, use the minimal option:

pip install typecode

In this case, you will need to provide a working libmagic and its database available in one of these ways:

The supported libmagic version is 5.39.

To set up the development environment:

source configure --dev

To run unit tests:

pytest -vvs -n 2

To clean up development environment:

./configure --clean

To update Pygment to a newer vendored version use vendy:

  • Update the version of pygments in pyproject.toml

  • Run vendy

  • Update the src/typecpde/pygments_lexers_mapping.py and src/typecode/pygments_lexers.py scripts accordingly, including their ABOUT files
