Dear list, Python 3.11 marks "mailcap" for removal in 3.13. The documentation speaks about "mimetypes" being a replacement, of sorts. However, I can't really see how "mimetypes" helps in replacing the functionality of "mailcap". Put another way: what is the suggested way of replacing that module in existing code ? The use case is "find the viewer for any kind of file (mimetype), as long as the system knows". Thanks, Karsten -- GPG 40BE 5B0E C98E 1713 AFA6 5BC0 3BEA AC80 7D4F C89B

Given this decision has been made at the upstream python level, you should be asking on their support channel how they plan for current code migration (which is 2 years away). https://www.python.org/about/help/ could be a good start. -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandrotosi

Thanks and sorry for the noise. Wrong list on my part ... Karsten -- GPG 40BE 5B0E C98E 1713 AFA6 5BC0 3BEA AC80 7D4F C89B
