Well, you /could/ do but setup.py is probably only run on sufficiently posixly platforms that it doesn't matter?

OK. That's also the easier option, another advantage :) Cheers, M. -- The ultimate laziness is not using Perl.

imaplib.py and SSL

by Tino Lange

Hallo! Our company has decided to allow only SSL connections to the e-mailbox from outside. So I needed a SSL capable "imaplib.py" to run my mailwatcher-scripts from home. Thanks to the socket.ssl() in recent Pythons it was nearly no problem to derive an IMAP4_SSL-class from the existing IMAP4-class in Python's standard library. Maybe you want to look over the very small additions that were necessary to implement the IMAP-over-SSL-functionality and add it as a part of the next official "imaplib.py"? Here's the context diff from the most recent CVS version (1.43). It works fine for me this way and it's only a few straight-forward lines of code. Maybe I could contribute a bit to the Python project with this patch?

I.e. bsddbmodule-failed.so So long as it's bsddbmodule_failed.so, +1. It shouldn't be difficult. Cheers, M. -- MGM will not get your whites whiter or your colors brighter.

setup.py deleting files (Was: SSL support in _socket)

by Martin von Loewis

I now recall why setup.py deletes modules that cannot be imported: If they would be left there, the test cases would fail with the ImportError. People had been complaining that they get testsuite failures, so we changed setup.py to remove the modules which clearly don't work. Regards, Martin

Would it be possible to rewrite the import.c code as a new-style claass/type and then allow inheriting from it in Python? This might allow you to slightly overcome the "having to do it all" problem. Or maybe I'm just being silly. Cheers, M. -- The Oxford Bottled Beer Database heartily disapproves of the excessive consumption of alcohol. No, really. -- http://www.bottledbeer.co.uk/beergames.html
