-# Travis CI Build Status [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dbtsai/python-mimeparse.svg?branch=master)](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
-
-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
