Would be great to implement this feature. It would allow to identify more filetypes quickly.

The files where binwalk stores the magic numbers are located here inside the binwalk repo.

binwalk exposes a meaningful Python API, however, using it would imply rewriting the script and adding a dependency (the Python interpreter). Maybe would be easier to make a parser for these magic number files in PowerShell... As this tool is Windows-only, I don't think that rewriting it in Python will improve the user experience.
