Version 0.41.0

v0.41.0

• [TeamMsgExtractor #357] Fixed an issue where the properties stream being absent would raise an error message that was not clear.
• [TeamMsgExtractor #357] Added a way to suppress StandardViolationError for poorly created files. This may cause issues you might not expect since this exception is meant to stop the processing for a reason.
• [TeamMsgExtractor #223] Finally got around to dealing with signed attachments that are embedded MSG files. SignedAttachment.data now returns either bytes or MSGFile. SignedAttachment also now has a asBytes property that will return the bytes that created the signed attachment, regardless of if it is an MSG or not, making it unnecessary to call MSGFile.exportBytes to get the bytes of the embedded MSG file, which can add a small delay to your code. As Attachment is a much more complex class, it does not (at least yet) have this property. Also unlike Attachment, SignedAttachment will not throw an exception if the data is an MSG file but is not supported. Instead, it will simply be logged as a exception, but the code will continue. If the data is successfully read as an embedded MSG file, the AttachmentType will be AttachmentType.SIGNED_EMBEDDED.
• Deprecated AttachErrorBehavior in favor of the new ErrorBehavior enum which controls the error behavior for the various parts of the MSG file. Uses of the former will work until the next major version.
• Deprecated the attachmentErrorBehavior parameter of MSGFile in favor of errorBehavior. Uses of the previous will work until the next major version.
• Added treePath property to SignedAttachment to bring it more in line with AttachmentBase.
• Fixed bug in rare logging message caused by incorrect type name.
• Removed the dev and dev_classes submodules, as most of their features are possible using the base code. Additionally, the classes involved because significantly outdated over time.
• Removed the --dev argument from the command line.
• Changed the message for the standards violation error when an attachment has no specified attachment type and it could not be determined automatically. The error now specifies the path of the attachment that had an issue for easier debugging. Additionally, the log message for it simply not being present has also been changed to show this information.
• Added a dev level log that will output the entire properties mapping if the attachment type is not set. Dev level is 5.
• Fixed a critical error in Properties that caused the __contains__ method to always be False. This occurred because it was missing a return statement. Fortunately, it looks like only one part of the module was affected due to other parts using a properly written function.
• Removed some debug prints that slipped through.
• Changed some parts to use in for checking that a property exists as opposed to has_key. The function was there to act more like Python 2.
• Deprecated Properties.has_key.
• Removed the validation submodule and all related references. It was pretty outdated and has minimal usage at this point in time. It may come back at some later point.
• Changed behavior of MessageBase.save so it doesn't save raw when an exception occurs. This behavior may have ended up creating unexpected output which is why it was removed. It was mainly there for debugging in the first place, but is no longer necessary.
• Added __contains__ function to Named class.
• Fixed missing import in message_base.py that would only cause problems if something was wrong with the HTML.
• Fixed a bad error message appearing when trying to add or use an entry in OleWriter using an empty path.
• Changed the InvalidFileFormatError for a missing property stream to a StandardViolationError.
• Changed the exception messages for a few exceptions to fix typos and clarify.
• Fixed issues in _rtf.tokenize_rtf which would cause an exception to handle incorrectly and throw an unclear error.
• Fixed various small bugs caused by typos.
• Clean up unneeded imports.
• Improved existing __all__ entries and added some where they should be.
• Removed default export of the UnrecognizedMSGTypeError exception in favor of exporting the exceptions module.
• Removed default export of properHex.
• Improved type checking in many places.
• Fixed issues in RecurrencePattern.
