d1_common.ext.mimeparser module¶
MIME-Type Parser.
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.
- 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.

parse_mime_type
(mime_type)¶ Carves up a mime-type and returns a tuple of the (type, subtype, params) where ‘params’ is a dictionary of all the parameters for the media range. For example, the media range ‘application/xhtml;q=0.5’ would get parsed into:
(‘application’, ‘xhtml’, {‘q’, ‘0.5’})

d1_common.ext.mimeparser.
parse_media_range
(range)¶ Carves up a media range and returns a tuple of the (type, subtype, params) where ‘params’ is a dictionary of all the parameters for the media range. For example, the media range ‘application/*;q=0.5’ would get parsed into:
(‘application’, ‘*’, {‘q’, ‘0.5’})
In addition this function also guarantees that there is a value for ‘q’ in the params dictionary, filling it in with a proper default if necessary.

fitness_and_quality_parsed
(mime_type, parsed_ranges)¶ Find the best match for a given mime-type against a list of media_ranges that have already been parsed by parse_media_range().
Returns a tuple of the fitness value and the value of the ‘q’ quality parameter of the best match, or (-1, 0) if no match was found. Just as for quality_parsed(), ‘parsed_ranges’ must be a list of parsed media ranges.

d1_common.ext.mimeparser.
quality_parsed
(mime_type, parsed_ranges)¶ Find the best match for a given mime-type against a list of media_ranges that have already been parsed by parse_media_range().
Returns the ‘q’ quality parameter of the best match, 0 if no match was found. This function bahaves the same as quality() except that ‘parsed_ranges’ must be a list of parsed media ranges.

d1_common.ext.mimeparser.
quality
(mime_type, ranges)¶ Returns the quality ‘q’ of a mime-type when compared against the media- ranges in ranges. For example:
>>> quality('text/html', 'text/*;q=0.3, text/html;q=0.7, text/html;level=1, text/html;level=2;q=0.4, */*;q=0.5') 0.7

best_match
(supported, header)¶ Takes a list of supported mime-types and finds the best match for all the media- ranges listed in header. The value of header must be a string that conforms to the format of the HTTP Accept: header. The value of ‘supported’ is a list of mime-types.
>>> best_match(['application/xbel+xml', 'text/xml'], 'text/*;q=0.5,*/*; q=0.1') 'text/xml'
