retitle 787511 libpython3.9-stdlib: double embarassing failure in RFC2047 eMail
header encoding
found 787511 3.9.10-2
tags 787511 + bookworm sid
thanks
The bug’s also still pertinent in bullseye, see previous message,
as well as sid:
(sid-amd64)tglase@tglase:~ $ python3 x.py3
pöstal foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
Subject:

(sid-amd64)tglase@tglase:~ $ cat x.py3
from email.message import Message
from email.header import Header
def testit(text, encoding):
msg = Message()
h = Header(text, encoding)
msg['Subject'] = h
print(h)
print(msg.as_string())
testit('p\xf6stal foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz',
'iso-8859-1')
testit("[service-Aufgaben S&W-Team][#19415] VM''s aufsetzen mit
unterschiedlichen", 'UTF-8')
It apparently was, *ahem*, “forgotten” because the name of the package
changed and the bug was not carried over to the new name…
Incidentally, no, reporting bugs regarding encoding issues upstream is
n̲o̲t̲ easily possible, because upstream’s bugtracker errors out with
encoding errors if trying that… see https://bugs.python.org/issue46701
(encoding in Python and py3k both is a neverending joke…)
