kedro_datasets.email.EmailMessageDataset

class kedro_datasets.email.EmailMessageDataset(*, filepath, load_args=None, save_args=None, version=None, credentials=None, fs_args=None, metadata=None)

EmailMessageDataset loads/saves an email message from/to a file using an underlying filesystem (e.g.: local, S3, GCS). It uses the email package in the standard library to manage email messages.

Note that EmailMessageDataset doesn’t handle sending email messages.

Example:

from email.message import EmailMessage

from kedro_datasets.email import EmailMessageDataset

string_to_write = "what would you do if you were invisable for one day????"

# Create a text/plain message
msg = EmailMessage()
msg.set_content(string_to_write)
msg["Subject"] = "invisibility"
msg["From"] = '"sin studly17"'
msg["To"] = '"strong bad"'

dataset = EmailMessageDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test")
dataset.save(msg)
reloaded = dataset.load()
assert msg.__dict__ == reloaded.__dict__

__init__(*, filepath, load_args=None, save_args=None, version=None, credentials=None, fs_args=None, metadata=None)

Creates a new instance of EmailMessageDataset pointing to a concrete text file on a specific filesystem.

Parameters:

• filepath (str) – Filepath in POSIX format to a text file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided, file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn’t support versioning.

• load_args (Optional[dict[str, Any]]) – email options for parsing email messages (arguments passed into email.parser.Parser.parse). Here you can find all available arguments: https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.parser.html#email.parser.Parser.parse If you would like to specify options for the Parser, you can include them under the “parser” key. Here you can find all available arguments: https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.parser.html#email.parser.Parser All defaults are preserved, but “policy”, which is set to email.policy.default.

• save_args (Optional[dict[str, Any]]) – email options for generating MIME documents (arguments passed into email.generator.Generator.flatten). Here you can find all available arguments: https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.generator.html#email.generator.Generator.flatten If you would like to specify options for the Generator, you can include them under the “generator” key. Here you can find all available arguments: https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.generator.html#email.generator.Generator All defaults are preserved.

• version (Optional[Version]) – If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

• credentials (Optional[dict[str, Any]]) – Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {“token”: None}.

• fs_args (Optional[dict[str, Any]]) – Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {“project”: “my-project”} for GCSFileSystem), as well as to pass to the filesystem’s open method through nested keys open_args_load and open_args_save. Here you can find all available arguments for open: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#fsspec.spec.AbstractFileSystem.open All defaults are preserved, except mode, which is set to r when loading and to w when saving.

• metadata (Optional[dict[str, Any]]) – Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.

exists()

Checks whether a data set’s output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

Flag indicating whether the output already exists.

Raises:

DatasetError – when underlying exists method raises error.

classmethod from_config(name, config, load_version=None, save_version=None)

Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.

Parameters:

• name (str) – Data set name.

• config (dict[str, Any]) – Data set config dictionary.

• load_version (str | None) – Version string to be used for load operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.

• save_version (str | None) – Version string to be used for save operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.

Return type:

AbstractDataset

Returns:

An instance of an AbstractDataset subclass.

Raises:

DatasetError – When the function fails to create the data set from its config.

load()

Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.

Return type:

TypeVar(_DO)

Returns:

Data returned by the provided load method.

Raises:

DatasetError – When underlying load method raises error.

release()

Release any cached data.

Raises:

DatasetError – when underlying release method raises error.

Return type:

None

resolve_load_version()

Compute the version the dataset should be loaded with.

Return type:

str | None

resolve_save_version()

Compute the version the dataset should be saved with.

Return type:

str | None

save(data)

Saves data by delegation to the provided save method.

Parameters:

data (TypeVar(_DI)) – the value to be saved by provided save method.

Raises:

• DatasetError – when underlying save method raises error.

• FileNotFoundError – when save method got file instead of dir, on Windows.

• NotADirectoryError – when save method got file instead of dir, on Unix.

Return type:

None
