Hi,
How can I determine the type of a file from "magic bytes", similar to
what the "file" command on unix does? I found http://docs.python.org/lib/module-mimetypes.html
but this only seems to use the filename (extension) for finding the
type. Any hints?

I'd start by taking a look at "file"'s code. :-)
The thing is being able to identify the signatures of several different types
of files. Here's some help for you:http://www.garykessler.net/library/file_sigs.html
And here's an example of an authoritative source for that table:http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/1...Structure.html
Actually, I am looking for an existing solution because I do not want
to write it from scratch... I hope I am not out of options.

hello,
I have to communicate with a web Service for which I received the WSDL below.
When trying to generate the client proxy, it gives me the error (see below).
After investigation, I have seen that the error is related to the ouput
parameter.
To my understanding this could be related to the MIME tag. However, I'm by
far not a WSDL expert.

The .net framework provides System.Net.Mail namespace to send an email:

I recently started working a lot more in python than I have done in
