There's a function in the cgi module called "parse_header", which takes a MIME-style email header and returns the "main" value along with a dictionary of the parameters in the header. I had to look for a while before I found it; first I thought it should be in httplib, then when it wasn't there I figured it would be in the email package, along with the rest of the MIME support. I was surprised to finally find it in cgi. Perhaps it should be moved to email.header, email.parser, or email.util? (With, of course, appropriate imports and eventually deprecations in the cgi module, which already imports email.parser.)
And what about parse_multipart? http://bugs.python.org/issue3609 Bill _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
