1# Import the email modules we'll need
2from email.parser import Parser
3
4#  If the e-mail headers are in a file, uncomment this line:
5#headers = Parser().parse(open(messagefile, 'r'))
6
7#  Or for parsing headers in a string, use:
8headers = Parser().parsestr('From: <user@example.com>\n'
9        'To: <someone_else@example.com>\n'
10        'Subject: Test message\n'
11        '\n'
12        'Body would go here\n')
13
14#  Now the header items can be accessed as a dictionary:
15print 'To: %s' % headers['to']
16print 'From: %s' % headers['from']
17print 'Subject: %s' % headers['subject']
