Shashwat Anand <anand.shash...@gmail.com> added the comment: After applying maxua's patch we do not get the unicode error but as david stated the support is not there. Here is the test.
>>> import email >>> msg = >>> email.MIMEText.MIMEText(u'\u043a\u0438\u0440\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0446\u0430') >>> msg.set_charset('utf8') >>> msg.as_string() 'MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset="utf8"\n\n\xd0\xba\xd0\xb8\xd1\x80\xd0\xb8\xd0\xbb\xd0\xb8\xd1\x86\xd0\xb0' This does not seems a viable general solution to the problem. I guess, this issue should be closed and emphasis should be now on development of 'email 6.0'. By the way I mailed Marius, the author of the blog-post http://mg.pov.lt/blog/unicode-emails-in-python , if I can borrow his example for the doc-patch. ---------- nosy: +l0nwlf status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1368247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
