It is relatively common to have keys in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT MIME database that are not readable to all users, typically written by third-party applications. (My WinXP test box has a dozen, for apps like Flash, Silverlight and Java.) Currently, initialising mimetypes causes Python to try to read them all, and if the user running Python doesn't have permission to read a key (in particular, if the user is a low-privilege daemon user such as IUSR_...), the script that caused mimetypes to be called will error out. This patch moves the try-block around the call to OpenKey as well as QueryValueEx, allowing the key to be skipped if unreadable. |

I've only read the patch and not applied it, yet. But in principle I'm +1 on this. If Brian doesn't get there first, I'll try to apply later. |
