[issue21138] mimetypes.MimeType UnicodeDecodeError

[tanbro]

New submission from tanbro:

when new a mimetypes.MimeType instance in a my Windows, whose default coding is 
mbcs, UnicdeDecodeError occurred.

Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from mimetypes import MimeTypes
>>> mt = MimeTypes()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "D:\Python27\lib\mimetypes.py", line 66, in __init__
init()
  File "D:\Python27\lib\mimetypes.py", line 358, in init
db.read_windows_registry()
  File "D:\Python27\lib\mimetypes.py", line 258, in read_windows_registry
for subkeyname in enum_types(hkcr):
  File "D:\Python27\lib\mimetypes.py", line 249, in enum_types
ctype = ctype.encode(default_encoding) # omit in 3.x!
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc7 in position 8: ordinal
not in range(128)

i think this error was caused by the code in mimetypes.py's line 256

default_encoding = sys.getdefaultencoding() 

if change this line to:

default_encoding = sys.getfilesystemencoding()

such error will be resolved
