I've only read the patch and not applied it, yet. But in principle I'm 
+1 on this. If Brian doesn't get there first, I'll try to apply later.

[issue10162] mimetypes read_windows_registry should tolerate permissions errors

2010-10-20 Thread And Clover 

New submission from And Clover a...@doxdesk.com:

It is relatively common to have keys in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT MIME database 
that are not readable to all users, typically written by third-party 
applications. (My WinXP test box has a dozen, for apps like Flash, Silverlight 
and Java.)

Currently, initialising mimetypes causes Python to try to read them all, and if 
the user running Python doesn't have permission to read a key (in particular, 
if the user is a low-privilege daemon user such as IUSR_...), the script that 
caused mimetypes to be called will error out.

This patch moves the try-block around the call to OpenKey as well as 
QueryValueEx, allowing the key to be skipped if unreadable.
