Issue 6799: mimetypes does not give canonical extension for guess_extension with text/plain (original) (raw)

import mimetypes

mimetypes.guess_extension("text/plain") '.ksh'

most others are correct, it is just this one is quite wrong. I would recommend changing it to .txt .

mimetypes.guess_all_extensions("text/plain") ['.ksh', '.pl', '.c', '.bat', '.h', '.txt', '.asc', '.text', '.pot', '.brf']
