Given this decision has been made at the upstream python level, you should be asking on their support channel how they plan for current code migration (which is 2 years away). https://www.python.org/about/help/ could be a good start. -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandrotosi
module mailcap to be removed -- how to replace ?
Dear list, Python 3.11 marks "mailcap" for removal in 3.13. The documentation speaks about "mimetypes" being a replacement, of sorts. However, I can't really see how "mimetypes" helps in replacing the functionality of "mailcap". Put another way: what is the suggested way of replacing that module in existing code ? The use case is "find the viewer for any kind of file (mimetype), as long as the system knows". Thanks, Karsten -- GPG 40BE 5B0E C98E 1713 AFA6 5BC0 3BEA AC80 7D4F C89B
