gh-85957: Add missing MIME types for images with RFCs #126966

Even if jp2 is in the official list of types https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml it's not recognized by the MimeTypes.guess_type:

>>> from mimetypes import MimeTypes
>>> MimeTypes().guess_type('test.jp2')
(None, None)

The same example works in Python 3.7 and returns 'image/jp2'

Hi, Radim!

I've tested with 3.7.8 and got (None, None). I'm curious on how you got that 'image/jp2' output.

It seems jp2 was never supported by looking into the git history of Lib/mimetypes.py.

Would you like to open a PR to support it? :)

Hi Andrés,

tried again and the difference is between 3.7.4 and 3.7.5
The jp2 mimetype is read from /etc/apache2/mime.types (see knownfiles in mimetypes.py) so the mime type does not have to be in the mimetypes.py hardcoded, but in version 3.7.5 it stopped working.

I think it's because of using _types_map_default instead of types_map in some places.

Since jp2 is an official mime type it should be added to the list but I also think we should try to identify the issue with _types_map_default.

Seems to be related to https://bugs.python.org/issue4963

I will have look if I can find out what was changed and why.

Cheers,
Radim

Nice debugging!

It is found by the module-level guess_type but not by the MimeType class's guess_type:

>>> from mimetypes import MimeTypes
>>> MimeTypes().guess_type('test.jp2')
(None, None)
>>> import mimetypes
>>> mimetypes.guess_type('test.jp2')
('image/jp2', None)
>>>

That difference is the subject of bpo-38656.

What remains to decide here is whether jp2 should be added to the builtin list of mimetypes.
