Python-MimeParse
================
.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/dbtsai/python-mimeparse.svg?branch=master
:target: 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
5.3.2 of the HTTP 1.1 Semantics and Content specification [RFC 7231] for
a complete explanation: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.3.2
Installation
------------
Use **pip**:
.. code-block:: sh
$ pip install python-mimeparse
It supports Python 2.7, 3.4+ and PyPy.
Functions
---------
**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
-------
Run the tests by typing: ``python mimeparse_test.py``. The tests require Python 2.6.
To make sure that the package works in all the supported environments, you can
run **tox** tests:
.. code-block:: sh
$ pip install tox
$ tox
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.
