It would be good to add support of all image types which are supported in PIL to the imghdr module.

Sounds good, I'll create a patch.

Claudiu, are you working on this issue? If not, I'll start writing a patch.

No, I didn't start any work on this and right now, with EuroPython, I don't have that much time to start, so feel free to take it and write a patch.

I'll try to do this issue.

Hi! Here is first version of patch. What I've done:
* Ported 10 new image formats from PIL (tests included)
* Improved existing file detections like PIL does.
* Add some byte manipulation routines

One more thing - I removed `ord()` calls, because python3 expects unicode symbol,
but bytes was provided, and I'm not sure is that right. Will these changes be included to python 3.5 only?

Here are some other image formats in PIL, that I didn't port, because they are so excotic, that I didn't find
even file examples. I can do this blindly, but I think without tests files this is useless.
What community think about this?

In general, the patch looks good, I left a couple of comments on Rietvld. It should be applied to 3.5 only. Also, there are some image test files which aren't included in this patch, could you update it to include them? Thanks.

@Claudiu Popa, IIRC I did not add 1-2 test images because I not found how to make image or how to convert image to this format.
So, if there will no chance to add them, should we remove these formats from the patch?
msg238079 - (view) Author: PCManticore (Claudiu.Popa) * (Python triager) Date: 2015-03-14 11:41
Well, we should have test files for each format imghdr supports. Doesn't PIL have test files for them?

This issue is 5 years old and has patches: it is no newcomer friendly, I remove the "easy" keyword.
msg415046 - (view) Author: Irit Katriel (iritkatriel) * (Python committer) Date: 2022-03-13 17:15
imghdr is deprecated as per PEP 594, so there won't be further enhancements to it.
