Why not use a regexp based approach.
extensionlist = [
(re.compile(r'.*\.php') , "application/x-crap-language"),
(re.compile(r'.*\.(cpp|c)') , 'text/x-c-src'),
(re.compile(r'[Mm]akefile') , 'text/x-makefile'),
]
for regexp, mimetype in extensionlist:
if regexp.match(filename):
return mimetype
if you were really concerned about efficiency, you could use something like:
class SimpleMatch:
def __init__(self, pattern): self.pattern = pattern
def match(self, subject): return subject[-len(self.pattern):] == self.pattern
