# 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 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
