Description Ross Burton 2002-07-01 09:44:35 UTC 
I'd like to be able to query the MIME database to get a viewer component
from a MIME type in Python.
Comment 1 James Henstridge 2002-11-20 13:42:02 UTC 
mass reassign of open pygtk and gnome-python bugs.
Comment 2 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2002-12-08 23:27:32 UTC 
Partial fix:

2002-12-08  Johan Dahlin  <jdahlin@async.com.br>

	* gnome/vfsmodule.c: Added wrappers for pygvfs_get_mime_type and
	pygvfs_get_mime_type_for_data.
Comment 3 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2002-12-30 23:50:07 UTC 
2002-12-30  Johan Dahlin  <jdahlin@async.com.br>

	* gnome/vfsmodule.c (pygvfs_mime_get_icon, pygvfs_mime_set_icon) 
	(pygvfs_mime_get_description, pygvfs_mime_set_description) 
	(pygvfs_mime_can_be_executable) 
	(pygvfs_mime_set_can_be_executable): Impl.

A bit more can be done now.
I will add more as i need them
Comment 4 Christian Reis (not reading bugmail) 2004-02-29 00:42:50 UTC 
Ross, are there still functions that you are missing?
Comment 5 Ross Burton 2004-03-04 10:28:03 UTC 
To be honest I can't remember why I wanted this, so I'll say "no" and
close it. :)
Comment 6 Christian Reis (not reading bugmail) 2004-03-04 13:20:58 UTC 
Johan, the original report says:

Is it possible to do this already, or are bits still missing?
Comment 7 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2004-03-04 14:15:47 UTC 
*** Bug 136174 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 8 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2004-03-04 14:18:04 UTC 
Forget about the dup.

Dunno, haven't looked into it. Don't think so though. IIRC the mime
stuff API is not small.
Comment 9 Gustavo Carneiro 2004-03-14 21:42:50 UTC 
I think all mime functions have been wrapped (see changelog in cvs for
list of new functions).  Closing, but please reopen if you find any
missing function.
