Parsing “From” addresses from email text

Question

I\'m trying to extract email addresses from plain text transcripts of emails. I\'ve cobbled together a bit of code to find the addresses themselves, but I don\'t know how to mak

Answer 1

import email
msg = email.message_from_string(str)

# or
# f = open(file)
# msg = email.message_from_file(f)

msg['from']

# and optionally
from email.utils import parseaddr
addr = parseaddr(msg['from'])
