 - :py:mod:`filemagic` - This library handles content-type autodetection for things like image uploads. This will only work on a system that provides libmagic; Mac and Unix will almost always have it preinstalled, but Windows users will have to use Cygwin or compile it natively. If your system doesn't have libmagic, you'll have to manually specify the ``contentType`` parameter on methods that take an image object, such as project and user avatar creation.
 
 Installing through :py:mod:`pip` takes care of these dependencies for you.
