Python-magic exceptions

[adimenia]

hello

ive installed python magic on a winxp sp3 32bit. ive tried testing it with a few sample code lines featured in README:
import magic
magic.from_file("bot.exe")
magic.from_buffer(open("bot.exe").read(1024))
magic.from_file("bot.exe", mime=True)

when im running the script im getting the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "magic test.py", line 2, in
magic.from_file("bot.exe")
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 99, in from_file
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 96, in _get_magic_type
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 89, in _get_magic
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 51, in init
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\magic.py", line 138, in errorcheck
magic.MagicException: could not find any magic files!

must be something in the module!
any ideas?

Some libmagic installs on windows do not work out of the box. See the section of the readme that starts with "'MagicException: could not find any magic files!'"
