imghdr — Determina o tipo de uma imagem

Código-fonte: Lib/imghdr.py

Obsoleto desde a versão 3.11: The imghdr module is deprecated (see PEP 594 for details and alternatives).

The imghdr module determines the type of image contained in a file or byte stream.

The imghdr module defines the following function:

imghdr.what(filename, h=None)

Tests the image data contained in the file named by filename, and returns a string describing the image type. If optional h is provided, the filename is ignored and h is assumed to contain the byte stream to test.

Alterado na versão 3.6: Aceita um objeto caminho ou similar.

The following image types are recognized, as listed below with the return value from what():

Valor

Image format

'rgb'

SGI ImgLib Files

'gif'

GIF 87a and 89a Files

'pbm'

Portable Bitmap Files

'pgm'

Portable Graymap Files

'ppm'

'rast'

X Bitmap Files

'jpeg'

'bmp'

'png'

Novo na versão 3.5: The exr and webp formats were added.

You can extend the list of file types imghdr can recognize by appending to this variable:

imghdr.tests

A list of functions performing the individual tests. Each function takes two arguments: the byte-stream and an open file-like object. When what() is called with a byte-stream, the file-like object will be None.

A função de teste deve retornar uma string descrevendo o tipo de imagem, se o teste for bem-sucedido, ou None, se falhar.

Exemplo:

>>> import imghdr
>>> imghdr.what('bass.gif')
'gif'
