Solve the following python programming problem given the following code:
def __init__(self, paths = None, flags = MAGIC_NONE) : 
    'Open and initialise resources from libmagic.

        ``paths`` is a list of magic database files to load.  If None, the
        default database will be loaded. For details on the magic database file
        see magic(5).

        ``flags`` controls how libmagic should behave. See libmagic(3) for
        details of these flags.
        ' 
    self._repr = 'Magic(paths={0!r}, flags={1!r})'.format (paths, flags) 
    cookie = api.magic_open (flags) 
    def cleanup(_) : 
        warnings.warn ('magic.Magic() not closed before being garbage collected. Magic.close() should be called when finishedwith', CleanupWarning) 
        api.magic_close (cookie) 
self.weakref = weakref.ref (self, cleanup) 
    self.cookie = paths 
    pathstr = (b':'.join (iter_encode (paths)) if paths else None) 
    try : 
        api.magic_load (self.cookie, pathstr) 
except MagicError : 
        self.close () 
        raise 

    
    

    Fix the buggy line: self.cookie = paths
assistant
#Here is Python code to fix the buggy line: self.

self.cookie = cookie
