[issue37532] email.header.make_header() doesn't work if any `ascii` code is out of range(128)
Yun Li added the comment: Hi, David: I don't think your argument stands here. The whole world does not just include English speaking countries. There are Spanish, Russian, Chinese, etc. Any legacy packages should support all languages instead of just English. This is definitely a bug in this package. I hope that the python support team should fix this issue or simply add the "support English only" description in the function explicitly . Otherwise it is very annoying for other countries to use this package. Thanks! Yun On Thu, Aug 1, 2019 at 5:42 AM R. David Murray wrote: > > R.

New submission from Yun Li : email.header.make_header() doesn't work if any `ascii` code is out of range(128) For example >>> header = "Your booking at Voyager Int'l >>> Hostel,=?UTF-8?B?IFBhbmFtw6EgQ2l0eQ==?=, Panamá- Casco Antiguo" >>> decode_header(header) [(b"Your booking at Voyager Int'l Hostel,", None), (b' Panam\xc3\xa1 City', 'utf-8'), (b', Panam\xe1- Casco Antiguo', None)] >>> make_header(decode_header(header)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.2_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/email/header.py", line 174, in make_header h.append(s, charset) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.2_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/email/header.py", line 295, in append s = s.decode(input_charset, errors) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128) -- components: email messages: 347577 nosy: barry, r.david.murray, yunlee priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: email.header.make_header() doesn't work if any `ascii` code is out of range(128) type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue37532> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
