A module provides basic functions for parsing mime-type names and matching them against a list of media-ranges.
Project description
# Travis CI Build Status [](https://travis-ci.org/dbtsai/python-mimeparse)
This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of the HTTP specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explanation.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1
- Contents:
parse_mime_type(): Parses a mime-type into its component parts.
parse_media_range(): Media-ranges are mime-types with wild-cards and a “q” quality parameter.
quality(): Determines the quality (“q”) of a mime-type when compared against a list of media-ranges.
quality_parsed(): Just like quality() except the second parameter must be pre-parsed.
best_match(): Choose the mime-type with the highest quality (“q”) from a list of candidates.
Testing
The format of the JSON test data file is as follows: A top-level JSON object which has a key for each of the functions to be tested. The value corresponding to that key is a list of tests. Each test contains: the argument or arguments to the function being tested, the expected results and an optional description.
Python
The Python tests require Python 2.6.
Run the tests by typing: python mimeparse_test.py
To make sure that the package works in all the supported environments, you can run tox tests: pip install tox tox
