New submission from Srujan Chaitanya: Example provided in 19.1.14.1. Examples using the Provisional API at https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/email-examples.html?highlight=email%20ex... Doesn't work. This could be a EmailMessage class issue also? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 258781 nosy: Srujan Chaitanya, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: EmailMessage example doesn't work type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26176> _______________________________________

Nathan Harold added the comment: emailexample.patch fixes the specific issue mentioned in #26426: the Address constructor is now used as documented. It changes the final output of the two combined examples (as presented in the documentation) accordingly. In general it seems as though these examples (the two in in 19.1.14.1) were meant to be read, not run. To run them, the user would have to supply (1) their own roasted-asparagus.jpg, (2) their own local SMTP server, and (3) their own implementation of imaginary.magic_html_parser. However, the Address constructor usage issue was real, and I was able to generate the relevant output without (2) and (3). ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +nharold Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43070/emailexample.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26176> _______________________________________
R. David Murray added the comment: Thank you for the patch. I blame the mistake on too great a familiarity with the old API :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26176> _______________________________________
