pimht 0.5.0

Parser for mhtml files

pimht

Python mhtml parser

Installation

$ pip install pimht

Example

import pimht

mhtml = pimht.from_filename("test.mhtml")
for part in mhtml:
    print(part.content_type, len(part.raw))

Modifying

import pimht

mhtml = pimht.from_filename("test.mhtml")
for part in mhtml.parts:
    if part.is_text:
        part.text = part.text.replace("Hello", "Goodbye")

with open("modified.mhtml", "wb") as f:
    f.write(mhtml.to_bytes())

Performance

The chardet module, used by default, is slow. Performance can be improved by also installing cchardet and pybase64 with:

$ pip install pimht[speedups]

This is aimed specifically at parsing Google Chrome generated snapshots as fast as possible, but feel free to report issues with MHTML files from other sources.
