New submission from bpypy <pyt...@bzx2.com>:
An obvious use case for mimetypes would be to check if file has correct mimetype, by getting the type with some of libmagic wrappers, and then comparing to guess_type result. But it seems that they don't always match. One example: applicattion/rar vs application/x-rar https://github.com/file/file/blob/b9e60f088847f885b5c9fde61ff8fc9645843506/magic/Magdir/archive#L986 Kills half the usefullness of the module. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 323160 nosy: bpypy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: mimetypes libmagic compatibility type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34340> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
