I'm having troubles with a script that uses the get_payload function.
My script just works perfectly if I use it with attachment up to 8 Mb.
If the attachment are more than 8 Mb large, the script exits with a
TypeError exception.
IMHO when get_payload try to convert the attachment in a single string
it occours in some size limit.
How can I fix it?
I'm using python-2.3.3 on a SuSE 9.1 distro
The error raised is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/sbin/mailbox2home.py", line 44, in ?
fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=1))
TypeError: argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not None
and this is the slice of code where the error occours.
for message in messages:
for part in message.walk():
# multipart/* are just containers
if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart':
continue
# Applications should really sanitize the given filename so
that an
# email message can't be used to overwrite important files
filename = part.get_filename()
if not filename:
ext = mimetypes.guess_extension(part.get_type())
if not ext:
# Use a generic bag-of-bits extension
ext = '.bin'
filename = 'part-%03d%s' % (counter, ext)
counter += 1
fp = open(os.path.join(dir, filename), 'wb')
fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=1))
fp.close()
