"mailcap" to be removed (3.13) -- suggested replacement ?
From Karsten Hilbert@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 26 20:55:19 2022
Dear list,
Python 3.11 marks "mailcap" for removal in 3.13. The
documentation speaks about "mimetypes" being a replacement,
of sorts. I agree with removing dead batteries.
However, I can't really see how "mimetypes" helps in
replacing the functionality of "mailcap" ?
Put another way: what is the suggested way of replacing that
module in existing code ? The use case is "find the viewer
for any kind of file (by mimetype), as long as the system
knows".
