Problems with email.Generator .Generator - Page 3

Chris Withers

Hi All,

The following piece of code is giving me issues:

from email.Charset import Charset,QP
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
charset = Charset('utf-8')
charset.body_en coding = QP
msg = MIMEText(
u'Some text with chars that need encoding: \xa3',
'plain',
)
msg.set_charset (charset)
print msg.as_string()

Under Python 2.4.2, this produces the following output, as I'd expect:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Some text with chars that need encoding: =A3

However, under Python 2.4.3, I now get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_encoding. py", line 14, in ?
msg.as_string()
File "c:\python24\li b\email\Message .py", line 129,
in
as_string
g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfr om)
File "c:\python24\li b\email\Generat or.py", line 82,
in flatten
self._write(msg )
File "c:\python24\li b\email\Generat or.py", line 113,
in _write
self._dispatch( msg)
File "c:\python24\li b\email\Generat or.py", line 139,
in
_dispatch
meth(msg)
File "c:\python24\li b\email\Generat or.py", line 182,
in
_handle_text
self._fp.write( payload)
UnicodeEncodeEr ror: 'ascii' codec can't encode
character
u'\xa3' in position 41:
ordinal not in range(128)

This seems to be as a result of this change:

http://svn.python.org/view/python/br...37910&r2=42272

....which is referred to as part of a fix for this bug:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func...70&atid=105470

Now, is this change to Generator.py in error or am I doing something wrong?

If the latter, how can I change my code such that it works as I'd expect?

cheers,

Chris

Where'd you find that? I must have missed it in my digging :-S
