12.8 MimeWriter -- Generic MIME file writer

This module defines the class MimeWriter. The MimeWriter class implements a basic formatter for creating MIME multi-part files. It doesn't seek around the output file nor does it use large amounts of buffer space. You must write the parts out in the order that they should occur in the final file. MimeWriter does buffer the headers you add, allowing you to rearrange their order.

class MimeWriter(fp)

Return a new instance of the MimeWriter class. The only argument passed, fp, is a file object to be used for writing. Note that a StringIO object could also be used.
