On Debian and Ubuntu, /etc/mime.types file is pure ASCII, but on Fedora 15 it contains a non-ASCII character, ³ (U+00B3), in the line: "application/vnd.geocube+xml g3 g³" And the file is encoded in UTF-8. That's why Python should read this file from UTF-8 instead of the locale encoding, because the locale encoding can be ASCII. Attached patch implements this idead. I think that it is a bug and so it should also be fixed in Python 3.2. (Python 2.7 reads the file in binary mode, it doesn't care of the encoding.) |

+1. I’ve finally understood that open using the locale is Evil™. Please use the file from Fedora in a test. |

However read_mime_types() still uses the locale encoding. See issue41048. |
