New submission from Jacob Rus <jacobo...@gmail.com>: See discussion started right at the end of the month at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-July/090928.html
And continued at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-August/thread.html Basically, the mimetypes module is fragile and very confusing code, built up over years of feature creep without refactoring or careful overall design. I'd like to cut it down to a more manageable code size, fix some bugs, update the included list of mime types, and use some nice Python features of versions 2.2+. Ideally someone reading the module once through would be able to understand what it does. Patches to be attached shortly. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 91196 nosy: jrus severity: normal status: open title: show Python mimetypes module some love type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6626> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
