Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
When the standard says "trust the filename" it is talking to the application, not to the sniffing library. The library should provide the tool for applications to follow the standard, but I don't see a reason why we would have to enforce how applications call the library. Since we agree there are use cases beyond what the standard has thought of for combining sniffing the data and guessing based on the filename, we should make that possible, the standard's exhortations notwithstanding. Python is not a browser; a browser could be an application written in Python. Python therefulre should provide tools that are useful to implement a browser. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
