I ported mimeparse into py3k in
https://github.com/dbtsai/python-mimeparse , and I used travis-ci to
do the unittest in order to make sure that mimeparse can run on all
different python versions. See the following, it now runs on py27,
py32, py33, and pypy. http://travis-ci.org/#!/dbtsai/python-mimeparse

Please do a new release to PyPI with this patch included, better for folk to be 
able to reuse such a library via the main distribution channel than have to 
embed it with bugfixes.

The utf8 BOM needs to be removed from setup.py. Attached a patch to do that. 
After that a new .tar.gz needs to be uploaded to the Downloads page for the 
pypi install to work again (in both 2.x and 3.x).

Another way to solve this is when opening the file with vim and executing ":set 
nobomb". It would be nice to have a new version available in pip ;-).

Really need this patch in pypi for Falcon. Can I assist you in any way to get 
this done?

It seems this module is not being maintained anymore. dbtsai's 
python3-compatible fork is in PyPi though, I ended up using it instead:

Ah, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize the fork was available on pypi as well.
