Feed Description: Posts related to using Python. Some tricks and tips, observations, hacks, and the Brand New Things.
I've added two new snippets to the
hacks section;
save.py & strip.py -
used to save attachments from a whole mailbox, or strip them, respectively.
Python comes with really nice mailbox classes, including QMail maildirs, which
is what we use on our servers - but unfortunately these are read only - so
strip.py cops out and write mbox files to stdout.
You could always use an mbox2maildir tool when you're finished I guess.
Alternatively, you could parse the maildir yourself, and edit the files in
place. But I don't need to - so I didn't.
