Improve self-promotion

[davidfraser]

This is the most effective consistent pure Python module I've found at detecting mime types for a server without relying on what happens to be installed on the server to decide what to detect. For example, I've attached a spreadsheet, extension_detection_comparison.xlsx which gives a comparison between:

• the built-in Python mimetype module (on my operating system; the actual detection varies)
• this module
• the mime module

I highlighted in red things that seem wrong, in yellow things that are questionable, etc. This included comparing them to what python-magic project detected based on the file contents of my sample files.

You can see how much better mimetype-description does in the attachment.

It would be nice to self-promote so that others coming to find this module know how good it is...

Hey @davidfraser, thanks for your comments and comparison, I actually had to implement this because I needed an accurate way of knowing the type of a given file and eight months ago I didn't find anything useful, this relies in shared-mime-info and the xml file has to be updated from time to time to cover new inclusions. Feel free to create PRs at any time, I will keep an eye on it since I have seen some activity here.
