i am having a bit o trouble being able to read a base64 encoded email attachement.
here is the script.
import email
import poplib
import base64
import os
email_folder = 'emails/'
mime = "application/octet-stream"
def WriteAttachment(msg):
for part in msg.walk():
print part
if part.get_content_type() == mime:
name = part.get_filename()
data = ""> email_folder = 'emails/'
f = file('%s%s'%(email_folder,name),'wb')
f.write(data)
f.close()
ms = poplib.POP3('my.mailserver.net')
ms.user('me')
ms.pass_('pass')
msgcount = len(ms.list()[1])
ii = 0
for i in range(msgcount):
ii+=1
if ii > 1: break
response, msg_as_list, size = ms.retr(i+1)
msg = email.message_from_string('\r\n'.join(msg_as_list))
WriteAttachment(msg)
dumped_files = os.listdir(email_folder)
i = 0
for d_file in dumped_files:
i+=1
base64.decode(open("%s%s" % (email_folder,d_file)), open("out.txt", "w"))
the issue is when it gets to the part of decoding. The traceback says
binascii.Error: Incorrect Padding.
but i am certain that the info as it is being sent is good.
anyone see where i may be missing it here ?
thanks.
