18.1.8. email.errors: 异常和缺陷类

以下异常类在 email.errors 模块中定义：

exception email.errors.MessageError

这是 email 包可以引发的所有异常的基类。 它源自标准异常 Exception 类，这个类没有定义其他方法。

exception email.errors.MessageParseError

This is the base class for exceptions raised by the Parser class. It is derived from MessageError.

exception email.errors.HeaderParseError

Raised under some error conditions when parsing the RFC 2822 headers of a message, this class is derived from MessageParseError. It can be raised from the Parser.parse or 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 email.errors.BoundaryError

Raised under some error conditions when parsing the RFC 2822 headers of a message, this class is derived from MessageParseError. It can be raised from the Parser.parse or Parser.parsestr methods.

Situations where it can be raised include not being able to find the starting or terminating boundary in a multipart/* message when strict parsing is used.

exception email.errors.MultipartConversionError

当使用 add_payload() 将有效负载添加到 Message 对象时，有效负载已经是一个标量，而消息的 Content-Type 主类型不是 multipart 或者缺少时触发该异常。 MultipartConversionError 多重继承自 MessageError 和内置的 TypeError。

Since Message.add_payload() is deprecated, this exception is rarely raised in practice. However the exception may also be raised if the attach() method is called on an instance of a class derived from MIMENonMultipart (e.g. MIMEImage).

Here’s the list of the defects that the 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 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 email.errors.MessageDefect, but this class is not an exception!

2.4 新版功能: All the defect classes were added.

  • NoBoundaryInMultipartDefect – A message claimed to be a multipart, but had no boundary parameter.
  • StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect – The start boundary claimed in the Content-Type header was never found.
  • FirstHeaderLineIsContinuationDefect – The message had a continuation line as its first header line.
  • MisplacedEnvelopeHeaderDefect - A “Unix From” header was found in the middle of a header block.
  • MalformedHeaderDefect – A header was found that was missing a colon, or was otherwise malformed.
  • MultipartInvariantViolationDefect – A message claimed to be a multipart, but no subparts were found. Note that when a message has this defect, its is_multipart() method may return false even though its content type claims to be multipart.
