# `email.errors`: 异常和缺陷类

源代码: Lib/email/errors.py

以下异常类在 `email.errors` 模块中定义：

exception `email.errors.``MessageError`

  这是 `email` 包可以引发的所有异常的基类。 它源自标准异常 `Exception` 类，这个类没有定义其他方法。

exception `email.errors.``MessageParseError`

  这是由 `Parser` 类引发的异常的基类。它派生自 `MessageError`。 `headerregistry` 使用的解析器也在内部使用这个类。

exception `email.errors.``HeaderParseError`

  在解析消息的 RFC 5322 标头时，某些错误条件下会触发，此类派生自 `MessageParseError`。 如果在调用方法时内容类型未知，则 `set_boundary()` 方法将引发此错误。 当尝试创建一个看起来包含嵌入式标头的标头时 `Header` 可能会针对某些 base64 解码错误引发此错误（也就是说，应该是一个 没有前导空格并且看起来像标题的延续行）。

exception `email.errors.``BoundaryError`

  已弃用和不再使用的。

exception `email.errors.``MultipartConversionError`

  当使用 `add_payload()` 将有效负载添加到 `Message` 对象时，有效负载已经是一个标量，而消息的 Content-Type 主类型不是 multipart 或者缺少时触发该异常。 `MultipartConversionError` 多重继承自 `MessageError` 和内置的 `TypeError`。

  Since `Message.add_payload()` is deprecated, this exception is rarely raised in practice. However the exception may also be raised if the `attach()` method is called on an instance of a class derived from `MIMENonMultipart` (e.g. `MIMEImage`).

Here is the list of the defects that the `FeedParser` can find while parsing messages. Note that the defects are added to the message where the problem was found, so for example, if a message nested inside a multipart/alternative had a malformed header, that nested message object would have a defect, but the containing messages would not.

All defect classes are subclassed from `email.errors.MessageDefect`.

- `NoBoundaryInMultipartDefect` -- A message claimed to be a multipart, but had no boundary parameter.

- `StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect` -- The start boundary claimed in the Content-Type header was never found.

- `CloseBoundaryNotFoundDefect` -- A start boundary was found, but no corresponding close boundary was ever found.

  3.3 新版功能.

- `FirstHeaderLineIsContinuationDefect` -- The message had a continuation line as its first header line.

- `MisplacedEnvelopeHeaderDefect` - A "Unix From" header was found in the middle of a header block.

- `MissingHeaderBodySeparatorDefect` - A line was found while parsing headers that had no leading white space but contained no ':'. Parsing continues assuming that the line represents the first line of the body.

  3.3 新版功能.

- `MalformedHeaderDefect` -- A header was found that was missing a colon, or was otherwise malformed.

  3.3 版后已移除: This defect has not been used for several Python versions.

- `MultipartInvariantViolationDefect` -- A message claimed to be a multipart, but no subparts were found. Note that when a message has this defect, its `is_multipart()` method may return `False` even though its content type claims to be multipart.

- `InvalidBase64PaddingDefect` -- When decoding a block of base64 encoded bytes, the padding was not correct. Enough padding is added to perform the decode, but the resulting decoded bytes may be invalid.

- `InvalidBase64CharactersDefect` -- When decoding a block of base64 encoded bytes, characters outside the base64 alphabet were encountered. The characters are ignored, but the resulting decoded bytes may be invalid.

- `InvalidBase64LengthDefect` -- When decoding a block of base64 encoded bytes, the number of non-padding base64 characters was invalid (1 more than a multiple of 4). The encoded block was kept as-is.
