:mod:`email`: Exception and Defect classes
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. module:: email.errors
|
|
:synopsis: The exception classes used by the email package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following exception classes are defined in the :mod:`email.errors` module:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: MessageError()
|
|
|
|
This is the base class for all exceptions that the :mod:`email` package can
|
|
raise. It is derived from the standard :exc:`Exception` class and defines no
|
|
additional methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: MessageParseError()
|
|
|
|
This is the base class for exceptions thrown by the :class:`~email.parser.Parser`
|
|
class. It is derived from :exc:`MessageError`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: HeaderParseError()
|
|
|
|
Raised under some error conditions when parsing the :rfc:`2822` headers of a
|
|
message, this class is derived from :exc:`MessageParseError`. It can be raised
|
|
from the :meth:`Parser.parse` or :meth:`Parser.parsestr` methods.
|
|
|
|
Situations where it can be raised include finding an envelope header after the
|
|
first :rfc:`2822` header of the message, finding a continuation line before the
|
|
first :rfc:`2822` header is found, or finding a line in the headers which is
|
|
neither a header or a continuation line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: BoundaryError()
|
|
|
|
Raised under some error conditions when parsing the :rfc:`2822` headers of a
|
|
message, this class is derived from :exc:`MessageParseError`. It can be raised
|
|
from the :meth:`Parser.parse` or :meth:`Parser.parsestr` methods.
|
|
|
|
Situations where it can be raised include not being able to find the starting or
|
|
terminating boundary in a :mimetype:`multipart/\*` message when strict parsing
|
|
is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: MultipartConversionError()
|
|
|
|
Raised when a payload is added to a :class:`Message` object using
|
|
:meth:`add_payload`, but the payload is already a scalar and the message's
|
|
:mailheader:`Content-Type` main type is not either :mimetype:`multipart` or
|
|
missing. :exc:`MultipartConversionError` multiply inherits from
|
|
:exc:`MessageError` and the built-in :exc:`TypeError`.
|
|
|
|
Since :meth:`Message.add_payload` is deprecated, this exception is rarely raised
|
|
in practice. However the exception may also be raised if the :meth:`attach`
|
|
method is called on an instance of a class derived from
|
|
:class:`~email.mime.nonmultipart.MIMENonMultipart` (e.g.
|
|
:class:`~email.mime.image.MIMEImage`).
|
|
|
|
Here's the list of the defects that the :class:`~email.mime.parser.FeedParser`
|
|
can find while parsing messages. Note that the defects are added to the message
|
|
where the problem was found, so for example, if a message nested inside a
|
|
:mimetype:`multipart/alternative` had a malformed header, that nested message
|
|
object would have a defect, but the containing messages would not.
|
|
|
|
All defect classes are subclassed from :class:`email.errors.MessageDefect`, but
|
|
this class is *not* an exception!
|
|
|
|
* :class:`NoBoundaryInMultipartDefect` -- A message claimed to be a multipart,
|
|
but had no :mimetype:`boundary` parameter.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect` -- The start boundary claimed in the
|
|
:mailheader:`Content-Type` header was never found.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`FirstHeaderLineIsContinuationDefect` -- The message had a continuation
|
|
line as its first header line.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MisplacedEnvelopeHeaderDefect` - A "Unix From" header was found in the
|
|
middle of a header block.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MalformedHeaderDefect` -- A header was found that was missing a colon,
|
|
or was otherwise malformed.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MultipartInvariantViolationDefect` -- A message claimed to be a
|
|
:mimetype:`multipart`, but no subparts were found. Note that when a message has
|
|
this defect, its :meth:`is_multipart` method may return false even though its
|
|
content type claims to be :mimetype:`multipart`.
