6 to a python object.

10 Textual content
11 ===============
12
13 The `register` module also contains a method to register mimetypes recognized
14 as textual contents, besides those beginning with 'text'. Indeed, some other
15 mimetypes (e.g. 'image/svg') can be handled by text-based tools. Those
16 registered mimetypes are used by the `content_is_textual` property.
17
18 Registered mimetypes can be generic (i.e. use *).
