R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: I'm closing this issue as invalid, since as Martin pointed out you can't send unicode over the wire.
However, see issue 8050 where I've attached a patch that adds support for sending binary data as a by-product of adding support for Message objects. >From Martin's msg76301 I gather he initially expected sendmail to take only >binary data, which would it seems to me probably be the better API. However >at this point we are stuck with supporting ASCII-only strings in the API as >well. As a further note, however, the original example in this issue would have produced a non-RFC-conformant message when used in python 2.x. You can't just send 8bit data willy-nilly, there are rules that should be followed. Which is why the issue 8050 patch adds support for using Message objects, since the email package knows what those rules are... ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> invalid stage: unit test needed -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4403> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
