How do I solve an ImportError: No module named 'cStringIO'
under Python 3.x?
Python 3.x Solutions
Solution 1 - Python 3.x
From Python 3.0 changelog:
> The StringIO and cStringIO modules are gone. Instead, import the io module and use io.StringIO or io.BytesIO for text and data respectively.
From the Python 3 email documentation it can be seen that io.StringIO
should be used instead:
from io import StringIO
from email.generator import Generator
fp = StringIO()
g = Generator(fp, mangle_from_=True, maxheaderlen=60)
g.flatten(msg)
text = fp.getvalue()
Solution 2 - Python 3.x
I had the same issue because my file was called email.py. I renamed the file and the issue disappeared.
Solution 3 - Python 3.x
I had the issue because my directory was called email
. I renamed the directory to emails
and the issue was gone.
