Hey, there are two ways to do this that I can think of off the top of my
head. One is using
gio.content_type_guess<https://developer.gnome.org/pygobject/2.28/gio-functions.html#function-gio--content-type-guess>,
the other (and likely slower albeit more accurate) way would be to use a
gio.File instance like so:
file_ = gio.File(filename)
info = file_.query_info("standard::content-type") or equivalently info
= file_.query_info(gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_CONTENT_TYPE)
mimetype = info.get_content_type()
Regards.
