printing email parts of type message/external-body??

[Magnus Therning]

Hi,

I am having problems with the following piece of code, would appreciate
any insight that can be offered!

There should be some headers that describes the external body (mime type
and so on), but I haven't found a way to add those.


---- test.py ------------
from email.Message import Message

meb_message = Message()
meb_message.add_header('Content-Type', 'message/external-body',
    access_type='local-file')
meb_message.set_payload('name="test"\n')
print meb_message
-------------------------
magnus at die:[test].$ python test.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "test.py", line 8, in ?
   print meb_message
