This PR is a supplement of #3062. Change the doc to match the current behavior.
After #3062, the
init(files)function still loads theknownfileswhenfiles=[]:cpython/Lib/mimetypes.py
Lines 405 to 433 in 9b0179f
The above doc reflects on the old code logic:
cpython/Lib/mimetypes.py
Lines 341 to 358 in 27a8564
PS: I did not walk through the https://bugs.python.org/issue4963 to see whether the
init(files=[])behavior change is necessary. (Well, reverting to Python 3.7's behavior is also unlikely?) For now, we should at least update the documentation.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--141393.org.readthedocs.build/
