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}
