Description of problem: file (or libmagic as the library is called) contains useful python bindings that we do not build. Attached is a patch to the spec file to build a python sub package (which also provides python-magic as it is known on other distributions). There is also a patch that the spec file applies to the setup.py builder so that the bindings will look in ../src/.libs/ for the recently built libmagic.

Created attachment 292414 [details] Patch which is used by the spec file to point the python build scripts to the correct directory to find libmagic
BTW I need this for F-8 but can also be pushed to devel
I have already been working on that. I only didn't have much time for this recently. There remains to solve the problem with the License tag and I hope I can push the update. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 273821 ***
