Yeah, fair enough. If it's stable and just works on Linux, this would be an advantage. > An application can choose to explicitly ignore the system mimetypes > file, by the way. My main concern is that it could be broken out of the box on Windows (mimetypes currently is), and callers have to go out of their way to find this workaround. I'm not familiar with Unix/Linux, but on Windows, if it's anything like mimetypes it'll be really hard to get consistent behaviour across different boxes/versions from the registry, or wherever certs might be stored on Windows. I'd much rather have a slightly outdated but consistent experience by default. -Ben _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
