if data[9] is None:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable
I'm parsing a bunch of spam and using the date field from the spams
for a date-time stamp.
I've fixed the lib on my box to place the call inside a try/except
clause to catch the exception now, but it seems the module has a bug
in it.
How would I go about recommending a change the module?
Original code:
def mktime_tz(data):
"""Turn a 10-tuple as returned by parsedate_tz() into a UTC timestamp."""
if data[9] is None:
# No zone info, so localtime is better assumption than GMT
return time.mktime(data[:8] + (-1,))
else:
t = time.mktime(data[:8] + (0,))
return t - data[9] - time.timezone
Patched code:
def mktime_tz(data):
"""Turn a 10-tuple as returned by parsedate_tz() into a UTC timestamp."""
try:
if data[9] is None:
# No zone info, so localtime is better assumption than GMT
return time.mktime(data[:8] + (-1,))
else:
t = time.mktime(data[:8] + (0,))
return t - data[9] - time.timezone
except TypeError:
return time.mktime(data[:8] + (-1,))
