I am trying to install python-magic in Colab. Here is the Github of the library https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic#dependencies
When I try :
!pip install python-magic
import magic
This Results in
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-44-1461204615fc> in <module>()
1 get_ipython().system('pip install python-magic')
----> 2 import magic
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/magic.py in <module>()
179 if not libmagic or not libmagic._name:
180 # It is better to raise an ImportError since we are importing magic module
--> 181 raise ImportError('failed to find libmagic. Check your installation')
182
183 magic_t = ctypes.c_void_p
ImportError: failed to find libmagic. Check your installation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If your import is failing due to a missing package, you can
manually install dependencies using either !pip or !apt.

I have tried every solution possible
This SO post says Exception Value:failed to find libmagic. Check your installation in windows 7
Your multiuploader form uses python-magic library possibly for filetype identification. However you probably do not have all the missing dependencies installed. Please install the missing dependencies. https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic#dependencies
But dependencies are not listed anymore.
I've also tried
pip install python_magic_bin-0.4.14-py2.py3-none-win_amd64.whl
and
pip install python_magic_bin-0.4.14-py2.py3-none-win32.whl
from this SO post
pip installing eyeD3 module. Failed to find libmagic
I tried
pip install python-magic-bin==0.4.14
I also tried
!brew install libmagic
But Colab doesn't seem to recognize brew
The way you install Libmagic on Colab is as follows:
!apt-get install libmagic-dev
!pip install python-magic
Then, you can import it without a problem:
import magic
