This is a fork; upstream is at https://github.com/defnull/multipart. This fork uses the same source with Python 2.6+ and Python 3. (Python2.5 might work in practice, but some tests are failing due to the measure used to make this single source)
This module provides a parser for the multipart/form-data format. It can read from a file, a socket or a WSGI environment. The parser can be used to replace cgi.FieldStorage (without the bugs) and works with Python 2.6+ and 3.x (single-source).
- Python 2.6+ and 3.x (single-source) support. No dependencies.
- Parses multipart/form-data and application/x-url-encoded.
- Produces useful error messages in 'strict'-mode.
- Uploads of unknown size (missing Content-Length header).
- Fast memory mapped files (io.BytesIO) for small uploads.
- Temporary files on disk for big uploads.
- Memory and disk resource limits to prevent DOS attacks.
- Support for base64 and quoted-printable transfer encoding.
- 100% test coverage.
- Reads directly from a socket (no
.readline(n), just.read(n)). - Consumes bytes regardless of Python version.
- Is designed for WSGI, not CGI.
- Is not broken.
