django-extramimetypes Description

Support additional guesses for Python's mimetypes module django-extramimetypes is Django app that hooks Python's mimetypes module to allow extra mimetype guesses to be added via a project's settings.py.Developer commentsI wrote it because on Mac OSX, Django's static serve view doesn't correctly set the Content-Type header for .htc files. This means that CSS behaviours for IE won't work! The view makes use of Python's mimetypes.guess_type function, and so this app solves the problem in a generalised way.Usage:Define a MIMETYPES setting in your project that maps extensions to types, e.g.:MIMETYPES = { ".htc": "text/x-component",}And then to use it:>>> import mimetypes>>> mimetypes.guess_type("test.htc")("text/x-component", None)In order for the mimetypes defined in settings.py to be added, extramimetypes must be imported. If you're using any of Django's database machinery (highly likely) this will happen automatically.However under some special circumstances (e.g. testing this app) you'll need to import it explicitly. A good place to do this is your urls.py.Installation:1. Download and install: pip install django-extramimetypes2. Add "extramimetypes" to the INSTALLED_APPS setting in your project. Requirements: · Python · Django
