Hello!
I'm using python 3.2.3 on debian wheezy. My script is called from my mail
delivery agent (MDA) maildrop (like procmail) through it's xfilter directive.
Script works fine when used interactively, e.g. ./script.py < testmail but when
called from maildrop it's producing an infamous UnicodeDecodeError:
File "/home/flindner/flofify.py", line 171, in main
mail = sys.stdin.read()
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
Exception for example is always like
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 869:
ordinal not in range(128)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1176:
ordinal not in range(128)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8c in position 846:
ordinal not in range(128)
I read mail from stdin "mail = sys.stdin.read()"
Environment when called is:
locale.getpreferredencoding(): ANSI_X3.4-1968
environ["LANG"]: C
System environment when using shell is:
~ % echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
As far as I know when reading from stdin I don't need an decode(...) call,
since stdin has a decoding. I also tried some decoding/encoding stuff but
changed nothing.
Any ideas to help me?
Thanks!
Florian
