In the email module example, email-unpack.py
(http://docs.python.org/lib/email-unpack.txt), line 56 throws an
AttributeError. It is currently

    ext = mimetypes.guess_extension(part.get_type())

I think this line should be

    ext = mimetypes.guess_extension(part.get_content_type())

The Message documentation
(http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.message.html) mentions that
"Changed in version 2.5: The previously deprecated methods get_type(),
get_main_type(), and get_subtype() were removed."

Thanks, this is fixed in the development docs now (r58445).
