Example of use in readme doesn't works!

[bioinfornatics]

for use current magic

import magic
path="path/to/file"
mime = magic.open(magic.MIME_TYPE) # you can choose other flag see magic.py
mime.load()
mime.file(path)

You can add new magic file! With load method, like:

mime.load(file="/path/to/magicfile")

I think you might be thinking of the other magic distribution, that comes with the fileutils. None of these examples appear in python-magic's README.
