[-]Doesn't work if using musl libc[/-][+]Doesn't work if using musl libc: find_library is broken[/+]on Sep 4, 2016 I'm not following the issue. What would the fix look like?
This issue is really the result of a bug in Python, but this library could work around it (although I'd understand it if you wouldn't want to).
I patchedmagic.pyby making line 150 just returnlibmagic.so.1, but that is perhaps a bit messy. You could do whatctypes.utils.find_libraryshould probably do: just look in/usr/lib/iflibmagic.soexists.Is this package not maintained anymore?
Alpine has been tested for a while so this seems to be fixed.

Right, anyway, the quoted lines then indeed still tackle
musl
I'm trying to construct a Docker image based on Alpine Linux, which uses the musl libc implementation. There is an existing issue in python that causes the
find_librarycall to fail, which is rather unfortunate.It's also reported on the Docker image repository. It's not really an issue with this library I guess, but this report could be helpful to others coming here with the same issue.
