Thanks for pointing that out. I found that it's a known and fixed Bug in 
the first Py 2.6 releases: http://bugs.python.org/issue5853

I agree, silently catching the exception is not a good idea. But instead 
of using a lock I think we should simply call mimetypes.init() in 
WebKit.__init__.py - it seems the only problem is the init() function 
that is called on the first use of guess_type. Let me know if that works 
for you. It will be fixed in Webware 1.0.x and 1.1.x then.
