Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3

Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Abel (judasiscariot) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Problem With email.MIMEText Package

Initial Comment: Problem with email.MIMEText. I created a MIMEText message (following the example in the documentation). The problem occurs when as_string() is called. This is the traceback:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/Message.py", line 113, in as_string g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/Generator.py", line 102, in flatten self._write(msg) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/Generator.py", line 137, in _write self._write_headers(msg) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/Generator.py", line 183, in _write_headers header_name=h, continuation_ws='\t').encode() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/Header.py", line 415, in encode return self._encode_chunks(newchunks, maxlinelen) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/Header.py", line 375, in _encode_chunks _max_append(chunks, s, maxlinelen, extra) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/email/quopriMIME.py", line 84, in _max_append L.append(s.lstrip()) AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lstrip'

I'm using 2.3b1, on RH9. The same piece of code works with 2.2.2.

OK, stripped everything down to a minimum. I now have a class, based upon the example from the email docs. It still gives the same error, when mailMessage.as_string() is called.

There have no follow ups to this message in months, so I'm moving it to Pending status.

Sorry, but you're going to have to work harder at trying to boil down the buggy code. When I run ServerMonitor.py, I get an immediate traceback

Traceback (most recent call last): File "ServerMonitor.py", line 18, in ? import ThreadUtils, NetMon ImportError: No module named ThreadUtils

Here's one thing you can try to do: catch the exception in your code, then pickle the Message object up and post the pickle. I can at least reconstitute the pickle and look at the structure.

Also, I'm guessing the problem is somewhere in ProcessMail() in PostITControl.py. Be sure that the mailBody argument is a string and nothing else.

The Config.ini will need to modifying to suit your machine settings. Run the ServerMonitor.py, and then run PostITControl.py. PostITControl.py crashes when trying to send a mail.

Sorry, been trying to narrow the code down. If I have a bare minimum script, it works, yet the original still fails. I'll upload the required files (3).

I'm moving this to Pending since wthout more information I can't help. This starts the 14 day clock ticking. After 2 weeks this bug report will be closed, unless someone follows up with more information.

Sorry, the attached code sample is incomplete. It is not sufficient for me to reproduce the problem.

Please boil down your example to a self-contained -- but as small as possible -- example.

Sorry, forgot the comment. When running the script using python2.2 (email 2.4.3), I don't receive any errors, mail gets sent. It only seems to happen with 2.3b.

Can you upload the exact code that you wrote that caused this crash? Please don't paste it.
