ValueError in 1.3 python version about python-mimeparse HOT 4 CLOSED

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

from python-mimeparse.

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

from python-mimeparse.

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 
  File "/home/jason/Repos/hyperadmindemo/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mimeparse.py", line 38, in parse_mime_type
    (type, subtype) = full_type.split("/")
ValueError: too many values to unpack

from python-mimeparse.

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('.') ]

from python-mimeparse.
