[New-bugs-announce] [issue42226] imghdr.what is missing docstring, has a logic error, and is overly complex

[Jeremy Howard]

New submission from Jeremy Howard <j at zz.lc>:

imghdr.what does not set f if h is passed, but still passed f to tests functions. None of the tests functions use it - they would not be able to anyway since it is not always set.

imghdr.what is missing a docstring.

imghdr.what has a complex highly nest structure with multiple return paths which makes the logic hard to follow.
