does this file look like Python?

[Skaperen]

i want to have a command or function that can examine a file and report a probability (and confidence factor would be a plus) that its contents are intended to be Python (as opposed to some other language), even if it has syntax errors. and, of course, without trying to run it. really nice would be a tool that can report the probability of a number of languages. anyone seen anything like that?

GitHub certainly report the languages used in a repository, so perhaps they've open sourced a library that is useful for you?
