ValueError in 1.3 python version

[dbtsai]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
In [3]: mimeparse.parse_mime_type("text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, ; q=.2, */; q=.2")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In [3]: mimeparse.parse_mime_type("text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, ; q=.2, */; q=.2")

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)

36 # Turn it into a legal wildcard.
37 if full_type == '': full_type = '/*'
---> 38 (type, subtype) = full_type.split("/")
39 return (type.strip(), subtype.strip(), params)

Yup, also: '/,text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,image/png,;q=0.5, application/vnd.nokia.headwrapper'

[dbtsai]

Specifically, this breaks the parser: /,text/xml

I get the same issue:

>>> import mimeparse
>>> mimeparse.parse_mime_type('text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in

    (type, subtype) = full_type.split("/")

parse_mime_type() is for parsing one mime type, possibly with quality metrics, not for parsing a list of mime types. If you want to parse a list, split the list on commas then feed each result to parse_mime_type(), like:

types = [ mimeparse.parse_mime_type(t) for t in "/,text/html".split('.') ]
