[issue13952] mimetypes doesn't recognize .csv

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I would argue the embedded mime-types dictionary should at least mirror current IANA assignments, which are already present in up-to-date Unix systems:

>>> mimetypes.guess_type("foo.csv")
('text/csv', None)

So not having text/csv is IMHO a bug.
Also it would be nice if there were an easy way to keep the mime-types dictionary up-to-date wrt. a system's mime-types file.
