Great news on the port! On your issue: Is this module relevant for the platform? Do you know of any existing app that uses the qmail mailbox format? As a work-around, I can think of several values to substitute for atime: the current time, or the mtime, or perhaps even the max of mtime and ctime. --Guido On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 10:11 AM, Mahesh S <mahesh.sayibabu@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I am from the PyS60 (Python port on S60 platform) team. We have ported the Python 2.5.4 core in the latest 1.9.x series of PyS60. http://wiki.opensource.nokia.com/projects/PyS60

Currently we have a problem with the mailbox module. Check the code snippet below, from the mailbox module.

def clean(self):         """Delete old files in "tmp"."""         now = time.time()         for entry in os.listdir(os.path.join(self._path, 'tmp')):             path = os.path.join(self._path, 'tmp', entry)             if now - os.path.getatime(path) > 129600:   # 60 * 60 * 36                 os.remove(path)

The code in red, tries to delete the files that are not accessed in the last 36 hours. Any idea as to how this is supposed to work on platforms that do not support access time, for example Symbian/S60 ? Any work around ?
