If we were to build a python module, it would be in a separate py-file port, not in the file port.

I am a bit puzzled what to do with this old ticket.
The situation today seems to be that there are several Python packages offering similar functionality. They all use the same top level name magic. Here an overview:
- This ticket request for the wrapper module provided by
fileitself, see [1]. - Macports already provides a package called
python-magicas portpy-magic. References [2] and [3] - ... and there is
filemagic[4], [5] (not maintained)
filemagic is probably now irrelevant anyway. This ticket was not implemented in years, it would create a conflict with the existing port and the existing port has dependencies. This indicates that the file implementation is less popular. I'd propose to close this ticket as wontfix and consider implementing it only if it should be required as dependency.

Can this be closed as wontfix, or is some other approach preferable?
