I'm writing a script for getting every image attachment from a sender in python 3.7 using pypiwin32.



import win32com.client
import click
import os
import logging

@click.command()
@click.option('-s', '--sender', 'sender', help="Sender's mail")
@click.option('-p', '--path', 'path', help="Save path")
def main(sender: str, path: str) -> None:

"""Save all attachments from a sender"""

# Get all messages from the inbox
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6) # 6 is the inbox folder
messages = inbox.Items
message = messages.GetFirst()

# Get all files from the path
files_list = os.listdir(path)

message_name_list =
message_counter = 0

while message:

print(message)

# Check if the message is from the sender
if message.SenderEmailAddress == sender:

# Check if the message name have been already used
if message not in message_name_list:

# Add message name to the list
message_name_list.append(message)

# Add one to msg counter
message_counter += 1

# Get the message date
mail_date = message.SentOn.date()

# Get all attachments from the message and get a count
attachments = message.Attachments
att_count = attachments.Count

# Check if the message have attachments
if att_count >= 1:

# Check if there is more than one attachments
if att_count > 1:

for att in range(att_count):

# Get attachments one by one
nb_att = att + 1
attachment = attachments.Item(nb_att)

# Set the filename for the attachment
filename = "img_" + str(mail_date) + "_" + str(message_counter) + "_" + str(nb_att) + ".jpg"

#check if file is already saved and save if not already saved
if filename not in files_list:
print (filename)
attachment.SaveAsFile(path + "\" + filename)

# Go to a next message
message = messages.GetNext()

else:
# Get the attachment
attachment = attachments.Item(1)

# Set the filename for the attachment
filename = 'img_' + str(mail_date) + "_" + str(message_counter) + '.jpg'

#check if file is already saved and save if not already saved
if filename not in files_list:
print (filename)
attachment.SaveAsFile(path + "\" + filename)

#Go to a next message
message = messages.GetNext()

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()


Normally in the terminal I should see the name of the mail and every saved attachments (called filename in my script). But actually I can only see that in the terminal:



script



script



script



script



And more others "script"



Someone know why no message are print and why "script" is print?
and how to fix that?
