[issue19485] Slightly incorrect doc for get_param method in Lib/email/message.py
by Vajrasky Kok Nov. 3, 2013

Nov. 3, 2013

New submission from Vajrasky Kok: Lib/email/message.py, line 665 & 666: param = msg.get_param('foo') param = email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value(rawparam) Where does rawparam come from? On top of that, sending the result of get_param to collapse_rfc2231_value can make it chokes if the result of get_param is None.

Dear python developpers, I ran into the unicode problem of the csv module in the python standard library (2.7.5) and immediately found the solution in the docs. I just used the UTF8Recoder/UnicodeReader/UnicodeWriter proposed in http://docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html#examples. Thank you for that! There is just one little problem with UnicodeWriter, which imho has an easy solution: class UnicodeWriter: "..." def writerow(self, row): self.writer.writerow([s.encode("utf-8") for s … [View More]
