This module provides basic functions for parsing mime-type names and matching them against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of RFC 2616 (the HTTP specification) for a complete explanation. 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 either Python 2.6 or the installation of the SimpleJSON library. Installing SimpleJson can be done by: sudo easy_install simplejson Run the tests by typing: python mimeparse_test.py
