Is this fixed now?

Title:
  python-magic is incomplete on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

Status in file package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file

  I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

  I installed python-magic with: sudo apt-get install python-magic (the
  file that gets installed is python-magic_5.03-5ubuntu1_i386.deb)

  However, when I start Python (version 2.6.5) and I "import magic" and
  I then do "dir(magic)", it seems as though the module does not contain
  all the definitions that I can see on python-magic's github repo (i.e.
  the Ubuntu package seems outdated):

  ['MAGIC_APPLE', 'MAGIC_CHECK', 'MAGIC_COMPRESS', 'MAGIC_CONTINUE',
  'MAGIC_DEBUG', 'MAGIC_DEVICES', 'MAGIC_ERROR', 'MAGIC_MIME',
  'MAGIC_MIME_ENCODING', 'MAGIC_MIME_TYPE', 'MAGIC_NONE',
  'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_APPTYPE', 'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_CDF',
  'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_COMPRESS', 'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_ELF',
  'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_ENCODING', 'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_SOFT',
  'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_TAR', 'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_TEXT', 'MAGIC_NO_CHECK_TOKENS',
  'MAGIC_PRESERVE_ATIME', 'MAGIC_RAW', 'MAGIC_SYMLINK', '__doc__',
  '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'error', 'open']

  What's up? Am I doing something wrong?
