New submission from Sven Krohlas <skroh...@bfk.de>:
Hello everyone, Today I stumbled over unexpected behaviour when parsing emails with Python 3.5. mail is of type: <class 'email.message.EmailMessage'> Traceback (most recent call last): File "XXX", line YYY, in ZZZ for attachment in mail.iter_attachments(): File "/usr/lib/python3.5/email/message.py", line 1025, in iter_attachments parts = self.get_payload().copy() AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'copy' /usr/lib/python3.5/email/message.py calls self.get_payload().copy() without distinguishing between different possible return types of get_payload(). get_payload() belongs to class MIMEPart(Message) >From the (base) class Message: "def get_payload(self, i=None, decode=False): """Return a reference to the payload. The payload will either be a list object or a string." So, it might return a string, which seems to be the case I'm hitting here. The code in cpython trunk still looks identical apart from a few line offsets, so newer versions might be affected, too. Am I doing something wrong or do we have a bug to squash here? Thanks, Sven ---------- components: email messages: 320494 nosy: barry, r.david.murray, skrohlas priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: AttributeError in email.message.iter_attachments() type: crash versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
