Hi, I took a quick look into the mime module since a few years and came up with the attached version, added the method "get_type_by_data()", which you might test. I also noticed that it implements the quite outdatet version 0.13 of the specification, where 0.18 is the newest. I have no time to update this, but if you are interested in helping out with that you are welcome.
