[New-bugs-announce] [issue11893] Obsolete SSLFakeFile in smtplib?

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

smtplib uses a wrapper class "SSLFakeFile" in order to call readline() on an SSL socket. But modern SSL sockets have makefile(), so using that wrapper class really shouldn't necessary (of course, it must be investigated whether that's true - and we have no tests for SMTP-over-SSL AFAIK :/).
