There are 3 policy settings that are also being passed as parameters to Generator/BytesGenerator: - mangle_from_ - linesep - maxheaderlen Both linesep and maxheaderlen are being inserted into policy after self.policy (if there is one) overrides message policy. The docs for both linesep and maxheaderlen match the code. So this only leaves us the buggy `mangle_from_`. I think it makes sense to fix it in `send_message()` rather than in BytesGenerator because: - less backwards compatibility breakage - there's already a workaround for BytesGenerator (provide the parameter) - there were no reports from users of BytesGenerator We have two ways to fix it in send_message() -- - provide policy as an arg - provide mangle_from_ as an arg I think the 2nd choice is better because it's more direct and easier to understand. If we use msg.policy as an arg, it looks like we're using msg.policy to override msg.policy, which wouldn't make any sense except that mangle_from_ is being set from policy arg rather than msg.policy. If there's code out there that relies on this bug in send_message(), I would guess it's more likely to be test suites that compare output to version where *from* is mangled. Docs for BytesGenerator should be fixed to warn about this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
