If I understand the situation correctly, you're getting a MIME-formatted email, and want to decode it into a usable attachment - right? Python includes a package for teasing apart RFC[2]822 format emails: https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.html Check out the email.parser module, or the convenience function email.message_from_string - you should be able to get at the different parts (including attachments) from there.
