Since EmailMessage is a provisional API we can fix API bugs in a
maintenance release, but I used a trick suggested by Serhiy to
maintain backward compatibility with 3.4.0/1.
This is a backward compatible partial fix, the complete fix requires raising
an error instead of accepting the invalid input, so the real fix is only
suitable for 3.4.
This adds EmailMessage and, MIMEPart subclasses of Message
with new API methods, and a ContentManager class used by
the new methods. Also a new policy setting, content_manager.
Patch was reviewed by Stephen J. Turnbull and Serhiy Storchaka,
and reflects their feedback.
I will ideally add some examples of using the new API to the
documentation before the final release.
This also backs out the previous fixes for for #14360, #1717, and #16564.
Those bugs were actually caused by the fact that set_payload didn't decode to
str, thus rendering the model inconsistent. This fix does mean the data
processed by the encoder functions goes through an extra encode/decode cycle,
but it means the model is always consistent. Future API updates will provide
a better way to encode payloads, which will bypass this minor de-optimization.
Tests by Vajrasky Kok.
This was triggered by wanting to make the doctest in email.policy.rst pass;
as_bytes and __bytes__ are clearly useful now that we have BytesGenerator.
Also updated the Message docs to document the policy keyword that was
added in 3.3.
This feature was supposed to be part of the initial email6 checkin, but it got
lost in my big refactoring.
In this patch I'm not providing an easy way to turn off the errors, but they
only happen when a header is added programmatically, and it is almost never
the right thing to do to allow the duplicate to be added. An application that
needs to add duplicates of unique headers can create a policy subclass to
allow it.
Which also means that it is now producing *something* for any base64
payload, which is what leads to the couple of older test changes in
test_email. This is a slightly backward incompatible behavior change,
but the new behavior is so much more useful than the old (you can now
*reliably* detect errors, and any program that was detecting errors by
sniffing for a base64 return from get_payload(decode=True) and then doing
its own error-recovery decode will just get the error-recovery decode
right away). So this seems to me to be worth the small risk inherent
in this behavior change.
This patch also refactors the defect tests into a separate test file,
since they are no longer just parser tests.
This patch primarily does two things: (1) it adds some internal-interface
methods to Policy that allow for Policy to control the parsing and folding of
headers in such a way that we can construct a backward compatibility policy
that is 100% compatible with the 3.2 API, while allowing a new policy to
implement the email6 API. (2) it adds that backward compatibility policy and
refactors the test suite so that the only differences between the 3.2
test_email.py file and the 3.3 test_email.py file is some small changes in
test framework and the addition of tests for bugs fixed that apply to the 3.2
API.
There are some additional teaks, such as moving just the code needed for the
compatibility policy into _policybase, so that the library code can import
only _policybase. That way the new code that will be added for email6
will only get imported when a non-compatibility policy is imported.
This applies only when generating strings from non-RFC compliant binary
input; it makes the existing recoding behavior more consistent (ie:
now no data is lost when recoding).
The RFC is bit hard to understand on this point, but the examples
clearly show that parameter values that are encoded according
to its charset/language rules don't have surrounding quotes, and
the ABNF does not allow for quotes. So when we produce such
encoded values, we no longer add quotes.

#1078919: make add_header automatically do RFC2231 encoding when needed.
Also document the use of three-tuples if control of the charset
and language is desired.
........
The work on this is not 100% complete, but everything is present to
allow real-world testing of the code. The only remaining major todo
item is to (hopefully!) enhance the handling of non-ASCII bytes in headers
converted to unicode by RFC2047 encoding them rather than replacing them with
'?'s.
the trunk patch, and removes the last trace of bdecode, which was
a commented out call in message.py.

Issue #7143: get_payload used to strip any trailing newline from a
base64 transfer-encoded payload *after* decoding it; it no longer does.
email had a special method in utils, _bdecode, specifically to do this,
so it must have served a purpose at some point, yet it is clearly wrong
per RFC. Fixed with Barry's approval, but no backport. Email package
minor version number is bumped, now version 4.0.1.

Patch by Darren Worrall.

MIMEApplication() requires a bytes object for its _data, so fix the tests.
We no longer need utils._identity() or utils._bdecode(). The former isn't
used anywhere AFAICT (where's "make test's" lint? <wink>) and the latter is a
kludge that is eliminated by base64.b64encode().
Current status: 5F/5E
email.base64mime, but test_smtplib still has failures for me. They are
timeout errors so think they're more related to my current wacky network setup
than bugs remaining in the code related to the email package.
This also r57693 that got clobbered with the sandbox sync, and fixes a couple
of other minor problems that cropped up. I will kill the sandbox branch next.
The email package now has 11F/11E.
This should restore the email package in the py3k branch to exactly what's in
the sandbox.
This wipes out 1-2 fixes made post-copy, which I'll re-apply shortly.
Use str.encode('raw-unicode-escape') consistently instead of bytes(string).
Remove the convert_eols argument from base64mime.decode(). This matches
previous API changes done to the quoprimime module.
Completely get rid of StringIO.py and cStringIO.c.
I had to fix a few tests and modules beyond what Christian did, and
invent a few conventions. E.g. in elementtree, I chose to
write/return Unicode strings whe no encoding is given, but bytes when
an explicit encoding is given. Also mimetools was made to always
assume binary files.
