- guess the MIME type and encoding of a URL.
- guess_extension(type, strict=1)
- guess the extension for a given MIME type.
It also contains the following, for tuning the behavior:

inited -- flag set when init() has been called
suffix_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to suffixes
encodings_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to encodings
types_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to types
Functions:
- init([files])
- parse a list of files, default knownfiles
read_mime_types(file) -- parse one file, return a dictionary or None
