Zope users sometimes asks to add
additional mime.types entries to Zope.
Zopes mime-types handling is mostly
based on mimetypes.py. In such cases
users should be able to maintain their
own mime.types files.
mimetypes.py currently tries to look
for mime.types files in 4 hardcoded locations.
It would be more convinient to specify
additional locations e.g. by an env. var
that holds a list of additional locations
or by any other mechanism that allows user-defined
locations.
The hardcoded locations also don't work on
Windows.

Sounds like there should be an object which can be configured with a search path at construction time. Applications could then store an appropriate mime.types file in a location that makes sense for them.
Would this suite your purposes?

A more OO approach would be nice. At least a possibility to add "somehow"
different file locations. I have not special preference for any solution.

I've attached a new version of mimetypes.py; something like this should do the trick and be easy to extend as needed.
Comments welcome.

OK, I really should update the version here to be the fixed one; sorry about the broken versions! If there are no objections, I'll check this in soon.

Ok, I've revised this again, to be a little cleaner and more consistent internally. I've attached a copy and will check it in as soon as I'm sure the updated documentation won't break the formatting.

Checked in the new version as Lib/mimetypes.py revision 1.15, with documentation in Doc/lib/libmimetypes.tex revision 1.8.
