Beautiful Soup不会让我解析包含HTML的变量

I am attempting to pretty print an HTML email which I have stored in a variable, but I keep getting an error from BS4 that says it is expecting a string.

我试图打印一个HTML邮件,我已经存储在一个变量中,但我不断收到来自BS4的错误,说它期待一个字符串。

Here is my code:

这是我的代码:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import imaplib
import email


mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')

username = raw_input('USERNAME (email):')
password = raw_input('PASSWORD: ')

try:
    mail.login(username, password)
    print "Logged in as %r !" % username
except: 
    imaplib.error
    print "Log in failed."

mail.list()
# Out: list of "folders" aka labels in gmail.
mail.select("inbox") # connect to inbox.

result, data = mail.uid('search', None, '(FROM "tiffany@e.tiffany.com")')
latest_email_uid = data[0].split()[1]
result, data = mail.uid('fetch', latest_email_uid, '(RFC822)')
raw_email = data[0][1]

email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email)

print email_message

html = email_message
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print soup.prettify()

Here is the printed HTML email I am working from: http://pastebin.com/qfAHwkdV

这是我正在处理的HTML电子邮件:http://pastebin.com/qfAHwkdV

This is the error I am getting:

这是我得到的错误:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tiff.py", line 34, in <module>
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bs4/__init__.py", line 169, in __init__
    self.builder.prepare_markup(markup, from_encoding))
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bs4/builder/_htmlparser.py", line 139, in prepare_markup

    xml_encoding_match = xml_encoding_re.match(xml_data)
TypeError: expected string or buffer

Why am I unable to pss the HTML to a variable to parse with BS4?

为什么我无法将HTML写入变量来解析BS4?

Thanks

According to the documentation on .message_from_string, this does not return a string, but a message object. BeautifulSoup() expects a string (or buffer).

根据.message_from_string上的文档,这不会返回字符串,而是返回消息对象。 BeautifulSoup()需要一个字符串(或缓冲区)。

Perhaps do soup = BeautifulSoup(str(html)) or soup = BeautifulSoup(unicode(html))

也许做汤= BeautifulSoup(str(html))或汤= BeautifulSoup(unicode(html))
