 From http://docs.python.org/3/library/mimetypes.html#module-mimetypes 
third paragraph "The functions described below provide the primary 
interface for this module. If the module has not been initialized, they 
will call init() if they rely on the information init() sets up."  Draw 
your own conclusions :)
