Re: TypeError: string payload expected:

[Andrea Whitlock]

I researched this a while back.  I think I found a fix for this that Alexandre Ratti posted to an email group.   He said:   [quote start] I suspect that the crash occur because these messages have multipart boundaries but have a text content type header. This cause the "_handle_text" method of the Generator class (in email/Generator.py) to be called. This method expects get_payload() to return a string, which doesn't happen since the message is multipart. [quote end]   To fix this, I changed the _handle_text method in TMDA/pythonlib/email/Generator.py to this as suggested by Alexandre:       def _handle_text(self, msg):         payload = msg.get_payload()         if payload is None:             return         cset = msg.get_charset()         if cset is not None:             payload = cset.body_encode(payload)         if not _isstring(payload):             # AGW start             # Changed to handle malformed messages with a text base             # type and a multipart content             if type(payload) == type([]) and msg.is_multipart():                 return self._handle_multipart(msg)             else:                 raise TypeError, 'string payload expected: %s' % type(payload)             # AGW end         if self._mangle_from_:             payload = fcre.sub('>From ', payload)         self._fp.write(payload)   Hope it helps!     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 11:21 PM Subject: TypeError: string payload expected: <type 'list'> I've been receiving this error since 1.0 and am currently using the snapshot tmda-UNSTABLE-20040721 freshly installed not upgraded.
