[issue39115] Clarify Python MIME type
Josh de Kock added the comment: I just wanted the intended MIME type for sending python over various mediums to be written down somewhere other than the source code, but I'm not sure where it should go. Though if you don't think it is necessary then that is fine too, I mostly just wanted someone else's opinion. After looking into it further I couldn't find much on other languages specifically stating which MIME you should use, it's mostly somewhat of an infrequent unofficial convention. If you don't think there is an appropriate place to put this information, other than the source code itself, then feel free to close this bug. Thank you for your replies, and sorry for wasting your time. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue39115> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue39115] Clarify Python MIME type
Josh de Kock added the comment: An IANA media type assignment would be even better than a '*/x-*' MIME, of course, but my original intention was just to clarify that the MIMEs in the cpython source can be used as documentation for 'which MIME should you use when sending .py,.pyc,.pyo'. I'm unsure if Python is eligible for a 'real' assignment, as far as I can tell, the main factor is if they are willing to take a reference implementation as 'a permanent and readily available public specification of the format for the media type' [1].

[issue39115] Clarify Python MIME type
New submission from Josh de Kock : I'd like to add Python's MIME types to a database so that they can be properly used by other services. However, apart from the source code[1][2], I can't find any documentation from Python which highlights this. Is the source code correct here, and can it be taken as the 'official' MIME types from the project? text/x-python py application/x-python-code pyc pyo [1]: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/19a3d873005e5730eeabdc394c961e93f2ec02f0/Lib/mimetypes.py#L457 [2]: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/19a3d873005e5730eeabdc394c961e93f2ec02f0/Lib/mimetypes.py#L528 -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 358772 nosy: docs@python, jdek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify Python MIME type type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue39115> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue11245] Implementation of IMAP IDLE in imaplib?
Josh de Kock added the comment: Hi, I'm new to python but I had a go at implementing this for imaplib(1) using a different approach. It works but it has a couple issues (see patch), I would appreciate any thoughts/improvements. -- nosy: +jdek versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.6 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48790/0001-Add-IDLE-support-to-imaplib.patch ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue11245> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
