quotes. Fixes SF bug #794466, with the essential patch provided by
Stuart D. Gathman. Specifically,
_parseparam(), _get_params_preserve(): Use the parsing function that
takes quotes into account, as given (essentially) in the bug report's
test program.
Backport candidate.
some updated modules, updated documentation, and updated tests. Note
that Lib/test/regrtest.py added test_email_codecs to the expected
skips for all platforms. Also note that test_email_codecs.py differs
slightly from its Python 2.3 counterpart due to the difference in
package location for TestSkipped.
the separating semi-colon shows up on a continuation line (legal, but
weird).
Bug reported and fixed by Matthew Cowles. Test case and sample email
included.
get_type(): Use a compiled regular expression, which can be shared.
_get_params_preserve(): A helper method which extracts the header's
parameter list preserving value quoting. I'm not sure that this
needs to be a public method. It's necessary because we want
get_param() and friends to return the unquoted parameter value,
however we want the quote-preserved form for set_boundary().
get_params(), get_param(), set_boundary(): Implement in terms of
_get_params_preserve().
walk(): Yield ourself first, then recurse over our subparts (if any).
<http://sf.net/projects/mimelib>. There /are/ API differences between
mimelib and email, but most of the implementations are shared (except
where cool Py2.2 stuff like generators are used).
