[Tutor] Determine Filetype

[admin at gg-lab.net]

Ok, a good news for me:

i've modified my script, adding a:

import magic

line at the top of it. But I got this error:

No module named magic

Ok, so magic is not installed on GAE. I've then uploaded it and it
loaded succesfully. New error:

No module named _ctypes

And, reading the full debug i got this:

File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array

So, the __init__.py file of the GAE evinronment's ctypes library is
broken, as it's importing from a package that doesn't exist. Right?
Maybe i'm doing something wrong.

Thankyou
