Hello,
I want to use some machine learning stuff on mail messages. First step is get
some flattened text from a mail message, python's email package does not work
as automatically as I wish. Right now I have:
> def mail_preprocessor(str):
> msg = email.message_from_string(str)
> msg_body = ""
>
> for part in msg.walk():
> if part.get_content_type() == "text/plain":
> msg_body += part.get_payload(decode=True)
>
> msg_body = msg_body.lower()
> msg_body = msg_body.replace("\n", " ")
> msg_body = msg_body.replace("\t", " ")
> return msg_body
For getting a text from html I could use BeautifulSoup. Right now I'm still a
layer down (encapsulation etc.) at RFC 2822 stuff.
Does anybody knows about some package or code I can throw an email message at
and get some kind of text from it? Attachments being discarded, HTML I can
take care of...
Thanks!
Florian
