[issue23371] mimetypes initialization fails on Windows because of TypeError

[Stéphane Lenclud]

New submission from Stéphane Lenclud:

On my Windows 7 installation mimetypes.py in read_windows_registry 
_winreg.OpenKey can throw a TypeError exception which is not handled and 
interrupts the execution.

To fix it I added:
except TypeError:
continue

To reproduce it I just need to run te following:
c:\python27\python -c import mimetypes; mimetypes.init()

This error is obviously due to the content of my registry.
The subkeyname causing issues have names like: 
{hexid-hexid-hexid-hexid-hexid}

Steve Dower added the comment:

Definitely a dup, though I don't have the number handy. There's a patch on the 
other issue waiting for a mimetypes maintainer to step up.

It's right there on my to-do list which is, unfortunately, not getting 
any shorter.
