pantomime is a small library that handles the parsing and normalisation
of internet MIME types in Python. This can be useful to normalise invalid,
or misformatted MIME types emitted by remote web servers.
The simplest use is to normalise a MIME type:
from pantomime import normalize_mimetype
assert normalize_mimetype('TEXT/PLAIN') == 'text/plain'
assert normalize_mimetype('plain/text') == 'text/plain'
assert normalize_mimetype(None) == 'application/octet-stream'
assert normalize_mimetype('') == 'application/octet-stream'
Internally, pantomime uses a MIMEType object to handle parsing. It can
be used to access more specific information, like human readable labels:
from pantomime import parse_mimetype
parsed = parse_mimetype('text/plain')
assert parsed.family == 'text'
assert parsed.subtype == 'plain'
assert parsed.label == 'Plain text'
