R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: The email package does have a 'parser headers only' mode, but it doesn't do what you want, since it reads the remainder of the file and sets it as the payload of the single, un-nested Message object it returns.
Adding a flag to tell it to stop parsing instead of doing that will probably be fairly simple, but is a feature request. However, I'm not clear on how that helps. Doesn't FieldStorage also load everything into memory? There's an open feature request for providing a way to use alternate backing stores for the bodies of message parts in the email package, which *would* address this issue. ---------- type: -> feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10879> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
