[Python] parse_media_range overrides quality values of 0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

mimeparse.parse_media_range('*/*;q=0')

Expected Output: ('*', '*', {'q': '0'})
Actual Output: ('*', '*', {'q': '1'})

I encountered this while parsing an request Accept header with
'application/xml,*/*;q=0' and the only acceptable type on the
server is application/json. It freely let the server return a
JSON representation, but should have failed since the user agent
explicitly defined a quality of 0 for all other mimetypes. The
value of 0 for */* was being overwritten with 1.
