  1  """MIME-Type Parser 
  2   
  3  This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle 
  4  matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of  
  5  the HTTP specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explaination.

  9  Contents: 
 10      - parse_mime_type():   Parses a mime-type into it's component parts. 
 11      - parse_media_range(): Media-ranges are mime-types with wild-cards and a 'q' quality parameter. 
 12      - quality():           Determines the quality ('q') of a mime-type when compared against a list of media-ranges. 
 13      - quality_parsed():    Just like quality() except the second parameter must be pre-parsed. 
 14      - best_match():        Choose the mime-type with the highest quality ('q') from a list of candidates.
