It looks like something related to python-magic and I read from its README you have to:

# You'll need DLLs for libmagic. @julian-r maintains a pypi package with the DLLs, you can fetch it with:

pip install python-magic-bin

This said, AFAIK you are the first Windows user and I am not 100% sure it'll work anyway because of another binary dependency: httptools.

[mindflayer]

I am kinda thinking out-loud here: the need for the first dependency is definitely something we could somehow overcome. It'll be a bit more complex for the second one, but probably not impossible. I believe we'll be able to find HTTP parsers implemented in pure Python, even as part of the standard library.
The thing is: I'd definitely need someone else help for adding Windows support. The latest Windows version I used was XP.

[LilyFirefly]

Thanks! Installing that dependency has done the trick!

There doesn't appear to be any other changes needed for my tests to pass on Windows.

[mindflayer]

Does it mean that was the only necessary step to make it work with Windows?
Should I close this issue?

[LilyFirefly]

We could add the extra package as a conditional dependency for Windows users, though I think that should really live upstream.

[mindflayer]

Yeah, it should be responsibility of the module. It should install what's needed to work on every platform, definitely not Mocket's responsibility.
I'm open to merge a PR with the change, anyway.

[LilyFirefly]

I opened the PR upstream: ahupp/python-magic#332
