Hi,
up to now I use this code to parse date values from emails:
msg=email.message_from_file(open(file_name))
date=None
date_str=msg.get('date')
if date_str:
date_tuple=email.utils.parsedate_tz(date_str)
if date_tuple: date=datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(email.utils.mktime_tz(date_tuple))
if date:
... # valid date found
Somehow this looks too complicated. Any chance to integrate the datetime module into the email module?
