Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
I have another idea - what if we checked self.extensions_map for overrides but otherwise just called mimetypes.guess_type(path) in the guess_type method? That would be the same behaviour as initializing it lazily, but we don't have to worry about initializing at all, since guess_type() will do it. I also did a bit of a GitHub search (which I generally criticize, but it's a pretty good way to evaluate whether something is in _common_ use). Mostly it looks like code will be unaffected by this change - people set values in extensions_map, but don't expect to be able to read global values out of it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35292> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
