smtpd now handles EHLO and has infrastructure for extended smtp command mode.
The SIZE extension is also implemented. In order to support parameters on
MAIL FROM, the RFC 5322 parser from the email package is used to parse the
address "token".
Logging subclasses things and overrides __init__, so it was necessary to
update those __init__ functions in the logging tests to make the logging tests
pass.
The original suggestion and patch were by Alberto Trevino. Juhana Jauhiainen
added the --size argument and SIZE parameter support. Michele Orrù improved
the patch and added more tests. Dan Boswell conditionalized various bits of
code on whether or not we are in HELO or EHLO mode, as well as some other
improvements and tests. I finalized the patch and added the address parsing.
Without this function people would be tempted to use the other date functions
in email.utils to compute an aware localtime, and those functions are not as
good for that purpose as this code. The code is Alexander Belopolsy's from
his proposed patch for issue 9527, with a fix (and additional tests) by Brian
K. Jones.
When the new policies are used (and only when the new policies are explicitly
used) headers turn into objects that have attributes based on their parsed
values, and can be set using objects that encapsulate the values, as well as
set directly from unicode strings. The folding algorithm then takes care of
encoding unicode where needed, and folding according to the highest level
syntactic objects.
With this patch only date and time headers are parsed as anything other than
unstructured, but that is all the helper methods in the existing API handle.
I do plan to add more parsers, and complete the set specified in the RFC
before the package becomes stable.
This patch primarily does two things: (1) it adds some internal-interface
methods to Policy that allow for Policy to control the parsing and folding of
headers in such a way that we can construct a backward compatibility policy
that is 100% compatible with the 3.2 API, while allowing a new policy to
implement the email6 API. (2) it adds that backward compatibility policy and
refactors the test suite so that the only differences between the 3.2
test_email.py file and the 3.3 test_email.py file is some small changes in
test framework and the addition of tests for bugs fixed that apply to the 3.2
API.
There are some additional teaks, such as moving just the code needed for the
compatibility policy into _policybase, so that the library code can import
only _policybase. That way the new code that will be added for email6
will only get imported when a non-compatibility policy is imported.
