Bernd Dietzel added the comment: Maybe it would be a good idea to do so as run-mailcap does :
theregrunner@mint17 : ~ € run-mailcap --debug "';xterm;#'.txt" - parsing parameter "';xterm;#'.txt" - Reading mime.types file "/etc/mime.types"... - extension "txt" maps to mime-type "text/plain" - Reading mailcap file "/etc/mailcap"... Processing file "';xterm;#'.txt" of type "text/plain" (encoding=none)... - checking mailcap entry "text/plain; less '%s'; needsterminal" - program to execute: less '%s' - filename contains shell meta-characters; aliased to '/tmp/fileV7f2MZ' - executing: less '/tmp/fileV7f2MZ' theregrunner@mint17 : ~ € ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
