I've also seen some Python scripts have the MIME type "text/x-python;" with others "text/plain." Looking a bit further, there are several lines (14351-14408, the "python: file(1) magic for python" section) in /usr/share/magic that specify several patterns that a Python source file matches, including the "#!/usr/bin/env python" shebang and "from ... import ..." clauses. I'm no MIME expert; but perhaps the reason some of the source files show up as text/plain instead of text/x-python is that they do not match these patterns? I hope someone with more knowledge about this than I can point us in the right direction... -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Who am I? :: http://thecodergeek.com/about-me
