I'm not sure whose fault this is, the author of python-magic or
easy_install (I'm guessing easy_install) but in any case
easy_install python-magic
(as root) fails with
Searching for python-magic
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/python-magic/
Reading http://hupp.org/adam/hg/python-magic

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'clone'
As far as I can see the problem is that no version of python-magic has
been supplied for python 2.6 which is the version I'm using, only 2.4
and 2.5. Nevertheless easy_install should I think fail with a more
user friendly message, and definitely not with a long traceback. It
should I think just inform the user that no version has been found,
good bye. Or something like that.
Cheers,
Daniel
