An IANA media type assignment would be even better than a '*/x-*' MIME, of course, but my original intention was just to clarify that the MIMEs in the cpython source can be used as documentation for 'which MIME should you use when sending .py,.pyc,.pyo'. I'm unsure if Python is eligible for a 'real' assignment, as far as I can tell, the main factor is if they are willing to take a reference implementation as 'a permanent and readily available public specification of the format for the media type' [1].
