example_string = \
"""\
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Example title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Example body</p>
</body>
</html>
"""
print('Hello, world!')
2. Run kmimetypefinder5 on that file.
$ kmimetypefinder5 example.py

$ kmimetypefinder5 example.py
application/xhtml+xml
