Methods inherited from rfc822.Message:
- __contains__(self, name)
- Determine whether a message contains the named header.
- __delitem__(self, name)
- Delete all occurrences of a specific header, if it is present.
- __getitem__(self, name)
- Get a specific header, as from a dictionary.
- __iter__(self)
- __len__(self)
- Get the number of headers in a message.
- __setitem__(self, name, value)
- Set the value of a header.
Note: This is not a perfect inversion of __getitem__, because any
changed headers get stuck at the end of the raw-headers list rather
than where the altered header was.
- __str__(self)
- get = getheader(self, name, default=None)
- Get the header value for a name.
This is the normal interface: it returns a stripped version of the
header value for a given header name, or None if it doesn't exist.
This uses the dictionary version which finds the *last* such header.
- getaddr(self, name)
- Get a single address from a header, as a tuple.
An example return value:
('Guido van Rossum', 'guido@cwi.nl')
- getaddrlist(self, name)
- Get a list of addresses from a header.
Retrieves a list of addresses from a header, where each address is a
tuple as returned by getaddr(). Scans all named headers, so it works
properly with multiple To: or Cc: headers for example.
- getallmatchingheaders(self, name)
- Find all header lines matching a given header name.
Look through the list of headers and find all lines matching a given
header name (and their continuation lines). A list of the lines is
returned, without interpretation. If the header does not occur, an
empty list is returned. If the header occurs multiple times, all
occurrences are returned. Case is not important in the header name.
- getdate(self, name)
- Retrieve a date field from a header.
Retrieves a date field from the named header, returning a tuple
compatible with time.mktime().
- getdate_tz(self, name)
- Retrieve a date field from a header as a 10-tuple.
The first 9 elements make up a tuple compatible with time.mktime(),
and the 10th is the offset of the poster's time zone from GMT/UTC.
- getfirstmatchingheader(self, name)
- Get the first header line matching name.
This is similar to getallmatchingheaders, but it returns only the
first matching header (and its continuation lines).
- getheader(self, name, default=None)
- Get the header value for a name.
This is the normal interface: it returns a stripped version of the
header value for a given header name, or None if it doesn't exist.
This uses the dictionary version which finds the *last* such header.
- getheaders(self, name)
- Get all values for a header.
This returns a list of values for headers given more than once; each
value in the result list is stripped in the same way as the result of
getheader(). If the header is not given, return an empty list.
- getrawheader(self, name)
- A higher-level interface to getfirstmatchingheader().
Return a string containing the literal text of the header but with the
keyword stripped. All leading, trailing and embedded whitespace is
kept in the string, however. Return None if the header does not
occur.
- has_key(self, name)
- Determine whether a message contains the named header.
- iscomment(self, line)
- Determine whether a line should be skipped entirely.
You may override this method in order to use Message parsing on tagged
data in RFC 2822-like formats that support embedded comments or
free-text data.
- isheader(self, line)
- Determine whether a given line is a legal header.
This method should return the header name, suitably canonicalized.
You may override this method in order to use Message parsing on tagged
data in RFC 2822-like formats with special header formats.
- islast(self, line)
- Determine whether a line is a legal end of RFC 2822 headers.
You may override this method if your application wants to bend the
rules, e.g. to strip trailing whitespace, or to recognize MH template
separators ('--------'). For convenience (e.g. for code reading from
sockets) a line consisting of
also matches.
- items(self)
- Get all of a message's headers.
Returns a list of name, value tuples.
- keys(self)
- Get all of a message's header field names.
- readheaders(self)
- Read header lines.
Read header lines up to the entirely blank line that terminates them.
The (normally blank) line that ends the headers is skipped, but not
included in the returned list. If a non-header line ends the headers,
(which is an error), an attempt is made to backspace over it; it is
never included in the returned list.
The variable self.status is set to the empty string if all went well,
otherwise it is an error message. The variable self.headers is a
completely uninterpreted list of lines contained in the header (so
printing them will reproduce the header exactly as it appears in the
file).
- rewindbody(self)
- Rewind the file to the start of the body (if seekable).
- setdefault(self, name, default='')
- values(self)
- Get all of a message's header field values.
