This patch is re: Lucas.Dejonge@awtpl.com.au: [Python-bugs-list] imaplib -
not complying with RFC (PR#218)
Lucas de Jonge reported that the code in imaplib that detects a read-write
to read-only change doesn't comply with RFC 2060.
discussed on c.l.py last January. Specifically:
- more characters allowed in section & option names
- if '=' is used to separate the option & value, the value can be
followed by a comment of the form '\s;'
OptionMenu is modified. Somewhat rewritten and elaborated by myself.
class _setit: The constructor now takes an optional argument
`callback' and stashes this in a private variable. If set, the
__call__() method will invoke this callback after the variable's value
has changed. It will pass the callback the value, followed by any
args passed to __call__().
class OptionMenu: The constructor now takes keyword arguments, the
only one that's legally recognized is `command', which can be set to a
callback. This callback is invoked when the OptionMenu value is set.
Any other keyword argument throws a TclError.
A change in my last patch could, under certain circumstances,
cause a loop if the connection to the server dropped while
waiting for a command completion. I've changed the code to
re-raise the error after possible debugging output.
standard library. Added some comments:
# XXX Note: this is now a standard library module.
# XXX The API needs to undergo changes however; the current code is too
# XXX script-like. This will be addressed later.
add clsFilesystemImporter class attribute, alter handling of suffix list
convert suffix importers to funcs rather than instances
remove backwards compat code: Importer.install and 2-tuple get_code()
result values
switch to isinstance() rather than direct type comparisons
removing chaining concept
update ImportManager.install() to take an optional namespace to install
itself in. this will be useful for setting up rexec environments.
minor comment nits
old 'dist' command, but the code for dealing with manifests is completely
redone -- and renaming the command to 'sdist' is more symmetric with the
soon-to-exist 'bdist' command.
- removed now (happily) unused second arg
- need to verify results of [].index are correct; for building consts,
need to have same value and same type, e.g. 2 not the same as 2L
(big surprise). new solution is a little less hackish.
Code gen adds a TupleArg instance in the argument slot. The tuple arg
includes a copy of the names that it is responsble for binding. The
PyAssembler uses this information to calculate the correct argcount.
all fix this wacky case: del (a, ((b,), c)), d
which is the same as: del a, b, c, d
(Can't wait for Guido to tell me why.)
solution uses findOp which walks a tree to find out whether it
contains OP_ASSIGN or OP_DELETE or ...
Reasons for patches:
1st patch (15,21):
version change
2nd patch (66,72):
This is a patch I found in a Zope product release (quite by accident!).
It relaxes the conditions for matching a literal. I've looked over the
logic, and tested it, and it seems sensible.
3rd patch (117,123):
It appears the quoting matcher was too general, and that the IMAP4
protocol requires characters like ':' in commands to be unquoted.
(This is the patch already sent to Guido.)
4th patch (699,705):
Spelling correction in comment.
5th patch (753,761):
Another patch from the Zope product. It seems that some IMAP4 servers
produce unexpected responses in the middle of valid command/response
sequences. This patch ignores the unexpected responses in this
situation. (How I wish users would send me bug reports with examples!).
last 2 patches: (1015,1028) (1038,1044):
Minor improvements to test code.
- added a number of support methods to generate code just before the
body
- hack protocol for communicating number of args to PyAssembler
fix TryExcept generation for case where exception handler has no body
fix visitAssAttr
add comment about incomplete visitAssName
stop using the ExampleASTVisitor
change script invocation to accept a list of .py files (e.g. Lib/*.py)
