The project uses the python-magic package which requires the libmagic C library to be installed on the host machine. If this is not installed, an error like the following is thrown when you try to interact with modules that utilize the package:
ImportError while importing test module '/xocto/tests/storage/test_storage.py'.
Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.

We should update the documentation to communicate this and also provide the steps to install libmagic for the major OS platforms.
Hint: The steps are fairly straightforward and are already documented on python-magic's package index page, so can be taken from there.
