R. David Murray added the comment: To be consistent with the overall philosophy of the mimetypes module, it should be instead a list of "windows fixes" which are applied if the broken mimetype is found in the windows registry.
If you want to avoid the overhead, pass an empty list to init. A note about the overhead and fixes should be added to the docs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
