Hi Gabriel,
I added fileObj.seek(0) on the line directly after
fileObj.write( part.get_payload() ) and I'm still getting the
following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wa.py", line 209, in <module>
attachment = zipfile.ZipFile(fileObj)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py", line 346, in __init__
self._GetContents()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py", line 366, in _GetContents
self._RealGetContents()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py", line 378, in _RealGetContents
raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file
Could the file like object still be encoded in MIME or something?
Thanks!
Erik
