[New-bugs-announce] [issue34926] Adding "mine_type" method to pathlib.Path

[YoSTEALTH]

New submission from YoSTEALTH <ritesh at stealthcentral.com>:

How about adding basic "mime_type" method to "pathlib.Path" ?

Code would do something like:

    import mimetypes


    def mime_type(name):
        """Mime-type of the file."""
        find = name.rfind('.')
        ext = '' if find == -1 else name[find:]
        return mimetypes.types_map.get(ext, 'application/octet-stream')


Users would use it like so:

    import pathlib

    file = pathlib.Path('hello_world.py')
    print(file.mime_type)  # 'text/x-python'
