@ -47,9 +47,11 @@ the information :func:`init` sets up.
The optional *strict* argument is a flag specifying whether the list of known MIME types
is limited to only the official types `registered with IANA
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml>`_.
When *strict* is ``True`` (the default), only the IANA types are supported; when
*strict* is ``False``, some additional non-standard but commonly used MIME types
are also recognized.
However, the behavior of this module also depends on the underlying operating
system. Only file types recognized by the OS or explicitly registered with
Python's internal database can be identified. When *strict* is ``True`` (the
default), only the IANA types are supported; when *strict* is ``False``, some
additional non-standard but commonly used MIME types are also recognized.

Added support for *url* being a :term:`path-like object`.
