Tweaks to python bindings

Tweaks to libpff python bindings.

[xvolte]

hello @ztravis Can you explain a little bit what you did in this tweak ? i'm trying to get the attachments from the libpff message. it seems in the code that you removed part of the solution, and added it somewhere else.

Can you help ?

Basically, i'm trying to do that in python code :

def search_msg_content(msg, filename):
    msg_subject=msg.get_subject().encode("UTF-8")
    print msg_subject
    msg_plaintext=msg.get_plain_text_body().encode("UTF-8")
    print msg_plaintext
    print "This message '%s' has %s attachments" % (msg_subject, msg.get_number_of_attachments())
    for attachment in msg.get_attachments():
        print attachment

Of course, it throws an exception : "'pypff.message' object has no attribute 'get_attachments'"

Thanks in advance,

[ztravis]

It looks like you're calling msg.get_attachments(), but no such method exists. You can iterate directly through msg.attachments:

for attachment in msg.attachments:
    print attachment

Or you can fetch individual attachments by index:

for i in range(msg.get_number_of_attachments()):
    print msg.get_attachment(i)

This should work on the main branch of this repo (i.e. without my tweaks, which I didn't mean to PR here in the first place...).

(FYI on markdown - you can add code blocks with triple-backquotes: "```")

Thanks, i edited my question with the triple backquotes,

so, regarding what you are suggesting:

for the first one :

for attachment in msg.attachments:
    print attachment

i get a : 'pypff.message' object has no attribute 'attachments' while trying file test.pst

and for the second one :

for i in range(msg.get_number_of_attachments()):
    print msg.get_attachment(i)

i get a : 'pypff.message' object has no attribute 'get_attachment' while trying file test.pst

no more luck with get_attachment_by_index 'pypff.message' object has no attribute 'get_attachment_by_index' while trying file test.pst

So at the moment i don't see how to retreive the attachment. Can you help ?

What does 'i didn't mean to PR' stands for ? (sorry, i'm french :) )
