I want determine mimetype of an xml file , but I am getting error about some instance as first argument. I am new to python please help. Below is the code I am using and the error it throws.
from mimetypes import MimeTypes
import urllib
FILENAME = 'Upload.xml'
url = urllib.pathname2url(FILENAME)
type = MimeTypes.guess_type(url)
print type
**ERROR :** Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/navi/Desktop/quicksort.py", line 20, in <module>
type = MimeTypes.guess_type(url)
TypeError: unbound method guess_type() must be called with MimeTypes instance as first argument (got str instance instead)
