ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'magic' (Fedora/Linux)
Hello I have an issue where I get this anytime I try to use any command(linux):
raceback (most recent call last):

import magic
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'magic'
even though python3-magic is installed! Can someone help me pls?
tried it with python 3.11 too after seeing that I had 3.12 installed but got the same result:
When I get a chance, I may see about just dropping the file identification entirely. It's a nice idea, but portable libmagic is just a pain in the butt.

Has anyone managed to figure this out? I'm getting the same error on EndeavourOS. Tried Python 3.11 and 3.12, same issue on both. Even tried to run everything in a manual venv without luck.

My workaround was to use Windows.

That's a solution I gotta say, but it's not solution to the actual problem
Hold on a sec, @shawngmc the magic that you use is python3 not 2 right? Just to make sure
It seems like the symlink of python doesn't detect magic but the real python does, I'm going to investigate
Found a solution @shawngmc , please enable system site package on linux venv.
To fix this, edit pyvenv.cfg file on ~/.local/pipx/venvs/game-extraction-toolbox/pyvenv.cfg and set include-system-site-packages to true.
