Since upgrading to django-versatileimagefield==2.0, I just can't get it to play nicely with Google App Engine. Using it as is comes up with the error that others have reported:
ImportError: failed to find libmagic. Check your installation
I've read similar problems that mention adding python-magic-bin==0.4.14 to the requirements. That seems to rectify the problem locally.
When I deploy to Google App Engine, though, it fails when when trying to install python-magic-bin with:
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-magic-bin==0.4.14
No matching distribution found for python-magic-bin==0.4.14
I am using the App Engine Flexible environment with Python 3.7.2. I've tried numerous different ways of installing the required packages and I just can't get it to work.
Try using python-magic - python-magic==0.4.15.
UPDATED:
According to this libmagic-dev package is not pre-installed on flex environment, so you will need to switch to custom runtime as described here.
After that just add libmagic-dev installation to the Dockerfile with:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmagic-dev
