New submission from jal <loic.jaquemet+pyt...@gmail.com>: >From documentation : http://docs.python.org/library/email.message.html?highlight=email#email.message.Message.get_payload
get_payload([i[, decode]]) "With optional argument i,[..] If the payload is a string (i.e. is_multipart() is False) and i is given, a TypeError is raised." and "Optional decode is a flag [..] When True and the message is not a multipart, the payload will be decoded if this header’s value is quoted-printable or base64. [..]" Now the bug : On a non-multipart b64 email, how can the second-level-option "decode" be used, when using first-level-optional 'i' throws an exception... Two fixes possible : a) code fix b) documentation fix ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 87353 nosy: georg.brandl, trolldbois severity: normal status: open title: email.message : get_payload args's documentation is confusing type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5951> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
