1 """Guess the MIME type of a file.
3 This module defines two useful functions:
5 guess_type(url, strict=1) -- guess the MIME type and encoding of a URL.
7 guess_extension(type, strict=1) -- guess the extension for a given MIME type.
9 It also contains the following, for tuning the behavior:
13 knownfiles -- list of files to parse
14 inited -- flag set when init() has been called
15 suffix_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to suffixes
16 encodings_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to encodings
17 types_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to types
21 init([files]) -- parse a list of files, default knownfiles
22 read_mime_types(file) -- parse one file, return a dictionary or None
