If you try doing "msg.as_string()" to a MIMEMultipart message that has not been given a boundary, then it dies with this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mime_gen_alt.py", line 40, in <module>
    print(msg.as_string())
  File "/home/brandon/python3.2b2/lib/python3.2/email/message.py", line 164, in as_string
    g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom)

Here is a patch that fixes the problem. The problem probably only occurs if the MIMEMultipart is actually given several MIME parts to use in its interior.

It is a duplicate of #1243654. Closing.
