mimetype and icon for Cython programs?

[Shriramana Sharma]

I would like to see my pyx and pyd files [or cy and cyd files ;-)]
have an icon on OSS filemanagers. I suppose the way it is gone about
is to have an icon and a set of extensions associated with a mimetype
(at least that is how it is on KDE).

Any official mimetype/icon for Cython files?

No idea if that's a standard, but maybe try to do the same as what
Pygments does?

text/x-cython sounds OK, but not application/x-cython. At least, going
by what I see on my Kubuntu Raring system for Python: text/x-python
but application/x-python-bytecode.

It is not clear from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimetypes whether we
have to register this somewhere or it is all just de facto.

"text/x-cython" makes sense for all of pyx, pxd, and pxi. pyd is a
Windows Python thing (not really specific to Cython). Feel free to use
the log at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cython-logo.svg (with our
without the trailing ython).

For proper transparency I removed the white rectangle used to make O
look like C:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cython-logo.svg

But since this apparently isn't under a free licence, it can't be part
of the official KDE distro. Is there a way out?

I have submitted https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319557 to
include this into KDE.

This still leaves us with the question as to where we are supposed to
register this mimetype officially if necessary.

Just to keep things official and to avoid the possibility of legal
conflicts, I uploaded my original version here:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Cython-logo.svg

Apparently, I cannot overwrite the english version file. If someone else
can, please replace it.

Not sure how KDE handles this, but it also uses the official Python logo
for .py files. So I can't imagine it being a problem.

Please use the official version instead then.

IANA, I guess:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types

Not sure it's worth it, though.

I'm sorry I don't understand. Was it wrong or a copyright infringement
or something to fix the transparency of the SVG? I did it since icons
need to have proper transparency for clean display on any-coloured
background.

If you want to restore your "official" version of the English
Wikipedia Cython logo with the white rectangle kludge you can still do
so. If you are not sure how, please tell and I will do it, but I don't
understand why you would do that.

IANAL, but it definitely complicates the legal constraints to have a chain
of derived works with multiple authors. And there is absolutely no reason
to go that route.

Note that the version I uploaded does not suffer from this problem. Only
the file in the English wikipedia had a broken background. If you replace
it with the official file I uploaded, all is well.

Done: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cython-logo.svg
