Identify

Identify is a Python library primarily used for file identification. It processes files (or file metadata) and returns a set of standardized tags describing their type, executability, language (from shebangs), and more. Maintained by the pre-commit team, it is actively developed with a focus on robust file analysis heuristics. The current version is 2.6.18, and releases typically align with pre-commit's development cycle or as issues require attention.
