Question

我正在尝试打印一个存储在变量中的HTML电子邮件，但我不断收到来自BS4的错误消息，表示它正在预期字符串。

这是我的代码：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import imaplib
import email


mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')

username = raw_input('USERNAME (email):')
password = raw_input('PASSWORD: ')

try:
    mail.login(username, password)
    print "Logged in as %r !" % username
except: 
    imaplib.error
    print "Log in failed."

mail.list()
# Out: list of "folders" aka labels in gmail.
mail.select("inbox") # connect to inbox.

result, data = mail.uid('search', None, '(FROM "tiffany@e.tiffany.com")')
latest_email_uid = data[0].split()[1]
result, data = mail.uid('fetch', latest_email_uid, '(RFC822)')
raw_email = data[0][1]

email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email)

print email_message

html = email_message
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print soup.prettify()

以下是我正在处理的打印HTML电子邮件：http://pastebin.com/qfAHwkdV

这是我得到的错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):

    soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

    xml_encoding_match = xml_encoding_re.match(xml_data)
TypeError: expected string or buffer

为什么我无法将HTML写入变量以解析BS4？

根据the documentation on .message_from_string，这不会返回字符串，而是返回消息对象。 BeautifulSoup()需要一个字符串（或缓冲区）。

也许soup = BeautifulSoup(str(html))或soup = BeautifulSoup(unicode(html))

Beautiful Soup不会让我解析包含HTML的变量
