I'm writing a little HTTP server and need to parse request content that is mime-encoded. All the MIME routines in the Python standard library seem to have been subsumed into the email package, which makes this operation a little awkward.
How about using cgi.parse_multipart()?

Unfortunately cgi.parse_multipart doesn't handle nested multiparts, which the requests I'm getting have. You have to use a FieldStorage object to do that, and that only works if you're actually in a cgi environment, which I am not. The server responds to these requests directly.

Anyway, thanks for the idea.

Hm, it actually seems to work if I manually pass in the outerboundary parameter and environ={'REQUEST_METHOD':'POST'} That seems like the Right Answer.

I'm also using it to parse form parameters in a message body received by POST.

CIao, Michael.
