[New-bugs-announce] [issue2248] quit() method of SMTP instance (of smtplib) doesn't return it's result

[Kei Funagayama]

New submission from Kei Funagayama:

Hi,

I've found that the quit() method of SMTP instance (of smtplib) doesn't
return it's result (such as '221 2.0.0 Bye') .
Other methods such as helo(), ehlo(), verify() etc.. returns it's result
correctly so I suppose it's a kind of bug.

I've made a small patch for this so please take a look at it (It looks
like someone just forgot to return the value of docmd()).

below is the code piece to represent the problem.

>>> import smtplib
>>> s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
>>> s.helo() #<---- returns result code
(250, 'localhost')
>>> s.vrfy('user at example.com') #<---- returns result code
(554, '5.7.1 <<user at example.com>>: Relay access denied')
>>> s.quit() #<----- doesn't return anything
>>>

Thanks,
Kei
