[Python-modules-team] Bug#563718: python-xdg: Mime content matching error

[Tony Houghton]

Package: python-xdg
Version: 0.18-1
Severity: normal


Attempting to use Mime.get_type_by_data() throws an exception:

  File "/home/tony/vixn/vixn/langs.py", line 144, in guess_filetype
    mime_type = xdgmime.get_type_by_data(text)

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/xdg/Mime.py", line 401, in get_type_by_data
    return magic.match_data(data, max_pri, min_pri)

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/xdg/Mime.py", line 287, in match_data
    m=type.match(buf)

NameError: global name 'buf' is not defined

I think the code should have "data" in place of "buf". It looks as if
this would also fail on all calls of get_type_by_contents() and some
calls of get_type().
