[New-bugs-announce] [issue10901] Python 3 MIME generator dies if not given boundary

[Brandon Craig Rhodes]

New submission from Brandon Craig Rhodes <brandon at rhodesmill.org>:

If you try doing "msg.as_string()" to a MIMEMultipart message that has not been given a boundary, then it dies with this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mime_gen_alt.py", line 40, in <module>
    print(msg.as_string())
  File "/home/brandon/python3.2b2/lib/python3.2/email/message.py", line 164, in as_string
    g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom)
  File "/home/brandon/python3.2b2/lib/python3.2/email/generator.py", line 88, in flatten
    self._write(msg)
  File "/home/brandon/python3.2b2/lib/python3.2/email/generator.py", line 134, in _write
    self._dispatch(msg)
  File "/home/brandon/python3.2b2/lib/python3.2/email/generator.py", line 160, in _dispatch
    meth(msg)
  File "/home/brandon/python3.2b2/lib/python3.2/email/generator.py", line 234, in _handle_multipart
    self.write('--' + boundary + self._NL)
TypeError: Can't convert 'NoneType' object to str implicitly
