How can i restore a mimetypes file? electrum Error: No module named mimetypes

Question

I removed some "wrong" mimetypes files. How can I resolve this error? Reinstalling electrum and pip hasn't solved this.

$ electrum
Error: No module named mimetypes. Try 'sudo pip install <module-name>'

$ sudo pip install mimetypes
Traceback (most recent call last):

Problem solved! I made missing mimetypes.py from github, after (maybie not necessary) made sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.7
