"""Generic MIME writer.

|
|
This module defines the class MimeWriter. The MimeWriter class implements
|
|
a basic formatter for creating MIME multi-part files. It doesn't seek around
|
|
the output file nor does it use large amounts of buffer space. You must write
|
|
the parts out in the order that they should occur in the final file.
|
|
MimeWriter does buffer the headers you add, allowing you to rearrange their
|
|
order.

A MIME writer is much more primitive than a MIME parser. It
|
|
doesn't seek around on the output file, and it doesn't use large
|
|
amounts of buffer space, so you have to write the parts in the
|
|
order they should occur on the output file. It does buffer the
|
|
headers you add, allowing you to rearrange their order.
|
|
|
|
General usage is:
|
|
|
|
f = <open the output file>
|
|
w = MimeWriter(f)
|
|
...call w.addheader(key, value) 0 or more times...
|
|
|
|
followed by either:
|
|
|
|
f = w.startbody(content_type)
|
|
...call f.write(data) for body data...
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
w.startmultipartbody(subtype)
|
|
for each part:
|
|
subwriter = w.nextpart()
|
|
...use the subwriter's methods to create the subpart...
|
|
w.lastpart()
|
|
|
|
The subwriter is another MimeWriter instance, and should be
|
|
treated in the same way as the toplevel MimeWriter. This way,
|
|
writing recursive body parts is easy.
|
|
|
|
Warning: don't forget to call lastpart()!
|
|
|
|
XXX There should be more state so calls made in the wrong order
|
|
are detected.
|
|
|
|
Some special cases:
|
|
|
|
- startbody() just returns the file passed to the constructor;
|
|
but don't use this knowledge, as it may be changed.
|
|
|
|
- startmultipartbody() actually returns a file as well;
|
|
this can be used to write the initial 'if you can read this your
|
|
mailer is not MIME-aware' message.
|
|
|
|
- If you call flushheaders(), the headers accumulated so far are
|
|
written out (and forgotten); this is useful if you don't need a
|
|
body part at all, e.g. for a subpart of type message/rfc822
|
|
that's (mis)used to store some header-like information.
|
|
|
|
- Passing a keyword argument 'prefix=<flag>' to addheader(),
|
|
start*body() affects where the header is inserted; 0 means
|
|
append at the end, 1 means insert at the start; default is
|
|
append for addheader(), but insert for start*body(), which use
|
|
it to determine where the Content-Type header goes.
