The MimeWriter Module

The MimeWriter module (shown in Example 6-4) can be used to write "multipart" messages, as defined by the MIME mail standard.

Example 6-4. Using the MimeWriter Module

File: mimewriter-example-1.py import MimeWriter # data encoders import quopri import base64 import StringIO import sys TEXT = """ here comes the image you asked for. hope it's what you expected. """ FILE = "samples/sample.jpg" file = sys.stdout # # create a mime multipart writer instance mime = MimeWriter.MimeWriter(file) mime.addheader("Mime-Version", "1.0") mime.startmultipartbody("mixed") # add a text message part = mime.nextpart() part.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "quoted-printable") part.startbody("text/plain") quopri.encode(StringIO.StringIO(TEXT), file, 0) # add an image part = mime.nextpart() part.addheader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64") part.startbody("image/jpeg") base64.encode(open(FILE, "rb"), file) mime.lastpart()

The output looks something like:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary='host.1.-852461.936831373.130.24813' --host.1.-852461.936831373.130.24813 Content-Type: text/plain Context-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable here comes the image you asked for. hope it's what you expected. --host.1.-852461.936831373.130.24813 Content-Type: image/jpeg Context-Transfer-Encoding: base64 /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGBQgHBwcJCQgKDBQNDAsLDBkSEw8UHRof HBwgJC4nICIsIxwcKDcpLDAxNDQ0Hyc5PTgyPC4zNDL/2wBDAQkJCQwLDBgNDRgyIRwhMjIy ... 1e5vLrSYbJnEVpEgjCLx5mPU0qsVK0UaxjdNlS+1U6pfzTR8IzEhj2HrVG6m8m18xc8cIKSC tCuFyC746j/Cq2pTia4WztfmKjGBXTCmo6IUpt== --host.1.-852461.936831373.130.24813--

Example 6-5, which is a bit larger, uses a helper class that stores each subpart in the most suitable way.

Example 6-5. A Helper Class for the MimeWriter Module
