<p><strong>Source code:</strong> <a class="extlink-source reference external" href="https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.14/Lib/email/generator.py">Lib/email/generator.py</a></p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>One of the most common tasks is to generate the flat (serialized) version of
the email message represented by a message object structure.  You will need to
do this if you want to send your message via <a class="reference internal" href="smtplib.html#smtplib.SMTP.sendmail" title="smtplib.SMTP.sendmail"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">smtplib.SMTP.sendmail()</span></code></a>,
or print the message on the console.  Taking a
message object structure and producing a serialized representation is the job
of the generator classes.</p>
<p>As with the <a class="reference internal" href="email.parser.html#module-email.parser" title="email.parser: Parse flat text email messages to produce a message object structure."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">email.parser</span></code></a> module, you aren't limited to the functionality
of the bundled generator; you could write one from scratch yourself.  However
the bundled generator knows how to generate most email in a standards-compliant
way, should handle MIME and non-MIME email messages just fine, and is designed
so that the bytes-oriented parsing and generation operations are inverses,
assuming the same non-transforming <a class="reference internal" href="email.policy.html#module-email.policy" title="email.policy: Controlling the parsing and generating of messages"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">policy</span></code></a> is used for both.  That
is, parsing the serialized byte stream via the
<a class="reference internal" href="email.parser.html#email.parser.BytesParser" title="email.parser.BytesParser"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BytesParser</span></code></a> class and then regenerating the serialized
byte stream using <a class="reference internal" href="#email.generator.BytesGenerator" title="email.generator.BytesGenerator"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BytesGenerator</span></code></a> should produce output identical to
the input <a class="footnote-reference brackets" href="#id3" id="id1" role="doc-noteref"><span class="fn-bracket">[</span>1<span class="fn-bracket">]</span></a>.  (On the other hand, using the generator on an
<a class="reference internal" href="email.message.html#email.message.EmailMessage" title="email.message.EmailMessage"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">EmailMessage</span></code></a> constructed by program may result in
changes to the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">EmailMessage</span></code> object as defaults are
filled in.)</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#email.generator.Generator" title="email.generator.Generator"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Generator</span></code></a> class can be used to flatten a message into a text (as
opposed to binary) serialized representation, but since Unicode cannot
represent binary data directly, the message is of necessity transformed into
something that contains only ASCII characters, using the standard email RFC
Content Transfer Encoding techniques for encoding email messages for transport
over channels that are not &quot;8 bit clean&quot;.</p>
<p>To accommodate reproducible processing of SMIME-signed messages
<a class="reference internal" href="#email.generator.Generator" title="email.generator.Generator"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Generator</span></code></a> disables header folding for message parts of type
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">multipart/signed</span></code> and all subparts.</p>
