We'll need to think about how best to implement this. Presumably we'll need to check the filenames for a `.json` extension. I think we have three options: 1. Add a...

I'm reopening this as I just ran into the same issue. It looks like sometimes (but not always) the etag returned by `.where()` isn't valid when actually trying to save...

To be clear, this isn't an API bug. The client should silently reload the subject as needed.

`reload()` does hit the API again: https://github.com/zooniverse/panoptes-python-client/blob/master/panoptes_client/panoptes.py#L834 It's the same as calling `.find(id)` again. I'm not sure why the etag is wrong sometimes when it's usually fine most of the...

> Could the client rescue this specific error and retry with a reload() once say, then raise if still errors? This would make the client more robust and cut down...

For reference here's how I'm working around it: ```python for retry in (True, False): try: ... make changes to subject ... subject.save() except PanoptesAPIException: if retry: # Reload the subject...

One problem with this approach is that the client DOES retry the failing requests with a backoff interval, but they always fail until you call `reload()`, so it takes the...

In fact with the backoff it would be fewer requests to just call reload first every time.

@PmasonFF Did you actually remove the python-magic package at some point? If so I think you need to still have it installed, even if you then install python-magic-bin on top...
