eml_parser serves as a python module for parsing eml files and returning various
information found in the e-mail as well as computed information.

Extracted and generated information include but are not limited to:

- attachments
- hashes
- names
- from, to, cc
- received servers path
- subject
- list of URLs parsed from the text content of the mail (including HTML
body/attachments)

Please feel free to send me your comments / pull requests.

Install the latest version using pip:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install eml-parser


**Note for OSX users**::

Make sure to install libmagic, else eml_parser will not work.


**Warning**::

This release is only compatible with Python3. The last release to be compatible with
Python2 is v1.2. If you do require Python2 support, please download that version.
You are strongly encouraged though to use Python3 as there are many parsing improvements
and much better RFC support.


Example on how to use:

.. code-block:: python

import datetime
import json
import eml_parser


def json_serial(obj):
if isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
serial = obj.isoformat()
return serial


with open('sample.eml', 'rb') as fhdl:
raw_email = fhdl.read()

parsed_eml = eml_parser.eml_parser.decode_email_b(raw_email)

print(json.dumps(parsed_eml, default=json_serial))


Which gives for a minimalistic EML file something like this:

.. code-block:: json

{
"body": [
{
"content_header": {
"content-language": [
"en-US"
]
},
"hash": "6c9f343bdb040e764843325fc5673b0f43a021bac9064075d285190d6509222d"
