[issue14380] MIMEText should default to utf8 charset if input text contains non-ASCII
Dmitry Shachnev mity...@gmail.com added the comment:
Maybe it'll be better to use 'latin-1' charset for latin-1 texts?
Something like this:
if _charset == 'us-ascii':
try:
_text.encode(_charset)
except UnicodeEncodeError:
try:
_text.encode('latin-1')
except UnicodeEncodeError:
_charset = 'utf-8'
else:
_charset = 'latin-1'
This will make messages in most latin languages use quoted-printable encoding.

[issue14380] MIMEText should default to utf8 charset if input text contains non-ASCII
R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: Pretty close. I'd do the check for us_ascii first, and only do the encode test/switch to utf-8 if that's the charset. The reason is that that if a charset has been specified, we don't waste time doing an unnecessary encoding (and the ascii codec is very fast, which you can't say about all the codecs). Now, what would be *really* nice is to also try latin-1 before falling back to utf-8, but I wouldn't want to make that the default behavior for performance reasons. I'm planning to add support for that at some point, but I haven't decided exactly how (policy setting? New optional setting in the alias structure?) There seem to be unrelated changes to torture_test in your patch? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14380 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: See also issue 7304. It was niggling at the back of my brain, and I finally managed to dig it up. Fixing that is much more complex than fixing this (because set_charset is a *very* strange method), so I committed this patch in case we don't manage to fix 7304 before 3.3 is ready, but with a comment about removing it when 7304 is fixed.

[issue14380] MIMEText should default to utf8 charset if input text contains non-ASCII
New submission from R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com: The MIMEText class of the email package in Python3 requires that a character set be specified in order for the resulting email to be valid. If no character set is specified, it currently assumes ascii but puts a unicode payload in the message. Because someone might actually be making use of this bug, I'm not going to backport a fix, but I do want to make utf8 the default if there are non-ascii characters in the input, in a similar fashion to how it is done for headers (well, now that *that* bug has been fixed). -- assignee: r.david.murray components: Library (Lib) keywords: easy messages: 156501 nosy: mitya57, r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: MIMEText should default to utf8 charset if input text contains non-ASCII type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14380 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
