As I don't know what encoding these messages will be in, I thought it
would be prudent to read stdin as binary data.
Using python 3.3 on a debian box I have the following code.
#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
from email import message_from_file
sys.stdin = sys.stdin.detach()
msg = message_from_file(sys.stdin)
Looking at the docs, I've found there is also "message_from_binary_file"
which works for me with your code.
http://docs.python.org/3/library/email.parser.html#email.message_from_binary_file
I can't try that out right now, but I had a look at the code and the
ByteParser that is mentioned their looks like this:
class BytesFeedParser(FeedParser):
"""Like FeedParser, but feed accepts bytes."""
def feed(self, data):
super().feed(data.decode('ascii', 'surrogateescape'))
Somehow I doubt that trying to decode my utf-8 stream as if it was
ascii will work.
