Method Details

[hide private]

parse(self, fp, headersonly=True)

Create a message structure from the data in a file.

Reads all the data from the file and returns the root of the message structure. Optional headersonly is a flag specifying whether to stop parsing after reading the headers or not. The default is False, meaning it parses the entire contents of the file.

Overrides: Parser.parse: (inherited documentation)
