Dear list, Python 3.11 marks "mailcap" for removal in 3.13. The documentation speaks about "mimetypes" being a replacement, of sorts. I agree with removing dead batteries.
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 (by mimetype), as long as the system knows".
