I'm looking for a way to retrieve a file's type - not (only) Mac type/creator, but like what the shell command 'file' returns.
/usr/bin/magic determines the file type heuristically by parsing /usr/share/file/magic and then reading a couple bytes out of the given file.
This appears to be a direct Python translation of the file command, with an embedded copy of a magic table:
