That's not *quite* true - there was at least one proposal a few years to modernise the mimetypes list, but the one I was involved in reviewing got intertwined with a proposal to completely rewrite the mimetypes module, and the submitter wasn't interested in creating a more minimalist patch that solved the specific problem (i.e. the list was pretty out of date) without all the extraneous changes to how the module actually worked :( Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
