Details

$ pacman -Q file
file 4.16-101

$ file /usr/lib/python2.4/os.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.4/os.pyc: data

but should be:

/usr/lib/python2.4/os.pyc: python 2.4 byte-compiled

This is because file 4.16 lacks entry for Python newer than 2.3:

$ strings /usr/share/misc/file/magic.mgc |grep python
a python script text executable
python 1.5/1.6 byte-compiled
python 2.0 byte-compiled
python 2.1 byte-compiled
python 2.2 byte-compiled
python 2.3 byte-compiled

And there is also Python module to enable.

Patches and fixed PKGBUILD are available here: http://www.smlw.pl/~wytnijto/arch/packages/file/

Oops, of course I had file-4.16-1 in mind, not -101 which is locally built one. Bart-
