libgmail -- Python binding for Google's Gmail service

<http://libgmail.sf.net/>

The `libgmail` project is a pure Python binding to provide access to Google's Gmail web-mail service.

The library currently ships with one demonstration utility to archive messages from a Gmail account into mbox files, suitable for importing into a local email client.

License: GPL 2.0

Major changes since 0.0.1 & 0.0.2:

* Archive Gmail to mbox utility.

* No longer requires external ClientCookie package.

* Uses constants extracted directly from Gmail Javascript, and includes utility to repeat the process if required.

* Code & API refactoring.

* Lazy retrieval and caching of thread and message data.

* Sourceforge project & home page.

This is getting really cool. One suggestion: the example on the home page needs a libgmail in front of the GmailAccount constructor I couldn't work out how to get the gmail.js required to update the constants.py. Maybe being able to give username and password to mkconstants to let it fetch the javascript would be a good idea? Cheers David
