I am trying to run the following code for reading the contents of the mail from a text file by using the parse() function of email.parser.Parser but continuously getting error as "TypeError: parse() missing 1 required positional argument: 'fp'"
from email.parser import Parser
with open('an_email.txt') as fp:
mail_msg = Parser.parse(fp)
print(mail_msg)
I am unable to find a solution to this. Can please someone help on this one ?
parser
is an instance method in the Parser
class. That means that you must first create a Parser instance:
...
parser = Parser()
with open('an_email.txt') as fp:
mail_msg = parser.parse(fp)
