Summary: multifile different in 2.2 from 2.1.1

Initial Comment:
Reported to python-help. When the test program I'll
attach is run on the test mail I'll attach separately,
it produces this under Python 2.1.1:

TYPE: multipart/mixed
BOUNDARY: =====================_590453667==_
TYPE: multipart/alternative
BOUNDARY: =====================_590453677==_.ALT
TYPE: text/plain
LINES: ['test A\n']
TYPE: text/html
LINES: ['<html>\n', '<b>test B</font></b></html>\n',
'\n']
TYPE: text/plain
LINES: ['Attached Content.\n', 'Attached Content.\n',
'Attached 
Content.\n', 'Attached Content.\n','\n']

But under Python 2.2, it produces:

TYPE: multipart/mixed
BOUNDARY: =====================_590453667==_
TYPE: text/plain
LINES: ['Attached Content.\n', 'Attached Content.\n',
'Attached 
Content.\n', 'Attached Content.\n']

The first output appears to me to be correct.

It seems that SourceForge won't let me delete the patch.
Please ignore it.

Sorry, I think my analysis is right but the patch is flawed and I've deleted it. I'll try to have another look at it tomorrow.

The problem is in _readline(). Since it changes self.level and self.last, they apply to the next line, not the current one. I'll upload a patch that seems to work.

The test program and test mail aren't mine. They belong to the person who reported the bug to python-help. I'm sure that he'd be glad to have them used as part of the test suite but I'll mail him to make absolutely certain.

You're absolutely right -- this is a bug.

Can you suggest a fix?

We also need a test suite!  Your test program is a beginning
for that...
