"""Guess the MIME type of a file. This module defines two useful functions: guess_type(url, strict=1) -- guess the MIME type and encoding of a URL. guess_extension(type, strict=1) -- guess the extension for a given MIME type. It also contains the following, for tuning the behavior: Data: knownfiles -- list of files to parse inited -- flag set when init() has been called suffix_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to suffixes encodings_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to encodings types_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to types Functions: init([files]) -- parse a list of files, default knownfiles (on Windows, the default values are taken from the registry) read_mime_types(file) -- parse one file, return a dictionary or None """ import os import sys import posixpath import urllib try: import _winreg except ImportError: _winreg = None __all__ = [ "guess_type","guess_extension","guess_all_extensions", "add_type","read_mime_types","init" ] knownfiles = [ "/etc/mime.types", "/etc/httpd/mime.types", # Mac OS X "/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types", # Apache "/etc/apache/mime.types", # Apache 1 "/etc/apache2/mime.types", # Apache 2 "/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types", "/usr/local/lib/netscape/mime.types", "/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types", # Apache 1.2 "/usr/local/etc/mime.types", # Apache 1.3 ] inited = False _db = None class MimeTypes: """MIME-types datastore.
