wx.FileTypeInfo

Container of information about wx.FileType.

This class simply stores information associated with the file type. It doesn’t do anything on its own and is used only to allow constructing wx.FileType from it (instead of specifying all the constituent pieces separately) and also with wx.MimeTypesManager.AddFallbacks .
