AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open' about python-magic HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,
What is expected from that attribute if it was working before?
There is however magic.MAGIC_MIME

You probably have a different module named magic in your path. Run python with python -v, then import magic and you should see where it's coming from.

Actually, you are seeing the right module (As in the one corresponding to this repo). There is a different module out there called magic that might have a MIME attribute, this one does not. See the instructions for use at the top of the README.md file.

I had this error too trying to build syslog-summary for Alpine Linux.

The fix was very simple:
