I am re-submitting an older PR which was abandoned but is still relevant, #10783 by @timb07. The issue being solved () is still relevant. The original PR #10783 was closed as the final request changes were not applied and since abandoned. In this new PR I have re-used the original patch plus applied both comments from the review, by @maxking and @pganssle. For reference, here is the original PR description: In email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime(), a failure to parse the date, or invalid date components (such as hour outside 0..23) raises an exception. Document this behaviour, and add tests to test_email/test_utils.py to confirm this behaviour. In email.headerregistry.DateHeader.parse(), check when parsedate_to_datetime() raises an exception and add a new defect InvalidDateDefect; preserve the invalid value as the string value of the header, but set the datetime attribute to None. Add tests to test_email/test_headerregistry.py to confirm this behaviour; also added test to test_email/test_inversion.py to confirm emails with such defective date headers round trip successfully. This pull request incorporates feedback gratefully received from @bitdancer, @brettcannon, @Mariatta and @warsaw, and replaces the earlier PR #2254. Automerge-Triggered-By: GH:warsaw

:mod:`email.errors`: Exception and Defect classes
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. module:: email.errors
|
|
:synopsis: The exception classes used by the email package.
|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/email/errors.py`
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The following exception classes are defined in the :mod:`email.errors` module:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: MessageError()
|
|
|
|
This is the base class for all exceptions that the :mod:`email` package can
|
|
raise. It is derived from the standard :exc:`Exception` class and defines no
|
|
additional methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: MessageParseError()
|
|
|
|
This is the base class for exceptions raised by the
|
|
:class:`~email.parser.Parser` class. It is derived from
|
|
:exc:`MessageError`. This class is also used internally by the parser used
|
|
by :mod:`~email.headerregistry`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: HeaderParseError()
|
|
|
|
Raised under some error conditions when parsing the :rfc:`5322` headers of a
|
|
message, this class is derived from :exc:`MessageParseError`. The
|
|
:meth:`~email.message.EmailMessage.set_boundary` method will raise this
|
|
error if the content type is unknown when the method is called.
|
|
:class:`~email.header.Header` may raise this error for certain base64
|
|
decoding errors, and when an attempt is made to create a header that appears
|
|
to contain an embedded header (that is, there is what is supposed to be a
|
|
continuation line that has no leading whitespace and looks like a header).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: BoundaryError()
|
|
|
|
Deprecated and no longer used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: MultipartConversionError()
|
|
|
|
Raised when a payload is added to a :class:`~email.message.Message` object
|
|
using :meth:`add_payload`, but the payload is already a scalar and the
|
|
message's :mailheader:`Content-Type` main type is not either
|
|
:mimetype:`multipart` or missing. :exc:`MultipartConversionError` multiply
|
|
inherits from :exc:`MessageError` and the built-in :exc:`TypeError`.
|
|
|
|
Since :meth:`Message.add_payload` is deprecated, this exception is rarely
|
|
raised in practice. However the exception may also be raised if the
|
|
:meth:`~email.message.Message.attach`
|
|
method is called on an instance of a class derived from
|
|
:class:`~email.mime.nonmultipart.MIMENonMultipart` (e.g.
|
|
:class:`~email.mime.image.MIMEImage`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of the defects that the :class:`~email.parser.FeedParser`
|
|
can find while parsing messages. Note that the defects are added to the message
|
|
where the problem was found, so for example, if a message nested inside a
|
|
:mimetype:`multipart/alternative` had a malformed header, that nested message
|
|
object would have a defect, but the containing messages would not.
|
|
|
|
All defect classes are subclassed from :class:`email.errors.MessageDefect`.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`NoBoundaryInMultipartDefect` -- A message claimed to be a multipart,
|
|
but had no :mimetype:`boundary` parameter.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect` -- The start boundary claimed in the
|
|
:mailheader:`Content-Type` header was never found.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`CloseBoundaryNotFoundDefect` -- A start boundary was found, but
|
|
no corresponding close boundary was ever found.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
|
|
* :class:`FirstHeaderLineIsContinuationDefect` -- The message had a continuation
|
|
line as its first header line.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MisplacedEnvelopeHeaderDefect` - A "Unix From" header was found in the
|
|
middle of a header block.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MissingHeaderBodySeparatorDefect` - A line was found while parsing
|
|
headers that had no leading white space but contained no ':'. Parsing
|
|
continues assuming that the line represents the first line of the body.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MalformedHeaderDefect` -- A header was found that was missing a colon,
|
|
or was otherwise malformed.
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 3.3
|
|
This defect has not been used for several Python versions.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`MultipartInvariantViolationDefect` -- A message claimed to be a
|
|
:mimetype:`multipart`, but no subparts were found. Note that when a message
|
|
has this defect, its :meth:`~email.message.Message.is_multipart` method may
|
|
return ``False`` even though its content type claims to be :mimetype:`multipart`.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`InvalidBase64PaddingDefect` -- When decoding a block of base64
|
|
encoded bytes, the padding was not correct. Enough padding is added to
|
|
perform the decode, but the resulting decoded bytes may be invalid.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`InvalidBase64CharactersDefect` -- When decoding a block of base64
|
|
encoded bytes, characters outside the base64 alphabet were encountered.
|
|
The characters are ignored, but the resulting decoded bytes may be invalid.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`InvalidBase64LengthDefect` -- When decoding a block of base64 encoded
|
|
bytes, the number of non-padding base64 characters was invalid (1 more than
|
|
a multiple of 4). The encoded block was kept as-is.
|
|
|
|
* :class:`InvalidDateDefect` -- When decoding an invalid or unparsable date field.
|
|
The original value is kept as-is. |
