Subject: MIME objects


I wanted to use MIME in selftest machinery, but the stdlib stuff was
uhm, missing.

So I wrote one; its working  well  - perhaps you could include it in the
stdlib?

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~testtools-dev/testtools/trunk/annotate/head
%3A/testtools/content.py

(branch testtools, read the README + pydoc, look at tests.

Features:
 - 2 and 3 clean
 - understands byte serialisation vs string representation
 - streaming interface: does not require or imply buffering
 - common case use is trivial (define one lambda: [value]).


Cheers,
Rob
