Error when importing eml_parser

[bcalisch]

Hello. This is my first time making an issue, so be easy on me. I have tried importing eml_parser on 3.6.1, 3.6.2, and 3.6.3 and when I import eml_parser I get an error. I posted the error below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,

I must admit that I have never tried eml_parser on windows. My guess is that you don't have the "magic" library installed (in addition to the python lib).

See the windows dependencies on https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic (not the library required for eml_parser but same windows deps).

Let me know if this works for you.

I have the same error. Windows 10, Python 3.6.3
I installed magic using: pip install libmagic

I found a few threads that discuss similar errors. For example pymedusa/Medusa#1843
This and other threads refer to the following bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue29082 which exists for more then one year. But with my knowledge I can not find a solution to solve this issue.

Do you have any clue?

I'm sorry but I can't really help you with Windows problems here besides the link I posted earlier :-/
If you don't necessarily need mime parsing support, give it a try without the mime library.

I submitted a pull request with the fix. It works on my machine now.

Check if it is a windows machine and if it is, use libmagic

Unfortunately as noted in the PR #16 , that is not a valid fix.
You must either remove the file-magic python library or properly install libmagic DLL.

I've just installed python-magic:
pip install python-magic
