email.parser.FeedParser

class email.parser.FeedParser(_factory=email.message.Message, *, policy=policy.compat32)

Create a FeedParser instance. Optional _factory is a no-argument callable that will be called whenever a new message object is needed. It defaults to the email.message.Message class.

If policy is specified (it must be an instance of a policy class) use the rules it specifies to update the representation of the message. If policy is not set, use the compat32 policy, which maintains backward compatibility with the Python 3.2 version of the email package. For more information see the policy documentation.

feed(data)

Feed the FeedParser some more data. data should be a string containing one or more lines. The lines can be partial and the FeedParser will stitch such partial lines together properly. The lines in the string can have any of the common three line endings, carriage return, newline, or carriage return and newline (they can even be mixed).

close()

Closing a FeedParser completes the parsing of all previously fed data, and returns the root message object. It is undefined what happens if you feed more data to a closed FeedParser.
