import sys
import chilkat


mime = chilkat.CkMime()

success = mime.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial.")
if (success == False):
    print "Failed to unlock"
    sys.exit()

#  Assuming  you have an EDIFACT document loaded into
#  a string variable, set the MIME body with it:
ediBody = "UNB+IATB:1+6XPPC+LHPPC+940101:0950+1' ..."
mime.SetBodyFromPlainText(ediBody)

#  The call to SetBodyFromPlainText automatically set the
#  content-type to "text/plain".
#  However, we want:  application/EDIFACT; name=om080923.edi
mime.put_ContentType("application/EDIFACT")
mime.put_Name("om080923.edi")

#  We want the content-disposition to be:
#  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="om080923.edi"
mime.put_Disposition("attachment")
mime.put_Filename("om080923.edi")

#  Make sure the content-transfer-encoding is 7bit:
#  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
mime.put_Encoding("7bit")

#  Note: MIME header fields are case insensitive.

#  Add a few other header fields:
mime.AddHeaderField("Message-ID","<CHILKAT-MID-83cf2fbf-10cb-4322-ad79-4c1097fd56f2@Matt>")
mime.AddHeaderField("From","support@chilkatsoft.com")
mime.AddHeaderField("To","admin@chilkatsoft.com")
mime.AddHeaderField("Subject","This is a test")
mime.AddHeaderField("MIME-VERSION","1.0")
mime.AddHeaderField("Date","Tue, 23 Sep 2008 07:26:39")

#  Display the complete MIME:
print mime.getMime()
