use it.

Raymond Hettinger 994d38059a Add entry for the mailbox fixups. 2011-01-30 07:56:03 +00:00
R. David Murray b7deff1ddc #9124: mailbox now accepts binary input and uses binary internally
Although this patch contains API changes and is rather weighty for an
RC phase, the mailbox module was essentially unusable without the patch
since it would produce UnicodeErrors when handling non-ascii input
at arbitrary and somewhat mysterious places, and any non-trivial amount
of email processing will encounter messages with non-ascii bytes.
The release manager approved the patch application.

The changes allow binary input, and reject non-ASCII string input early
with a useful message instead of failing mysteriously later.  Binary
is used internally for reading and writing the mailbox files.  StringIO
and Text file input are deprecated.

Initial patch by Victor Stinner, validated and expanded by R. David Murray.

R. David Murray 7b1aae9a52 #10960: fix 'stat' links, link to lstat from stat, general tidy of stat doc.
Original patch by Michal Nowikowski, with some additions and wording
fixes by me.

I changed the wording from 'Performs a stat system call' to 'Performs
the equivalent of a stat system call', since on Windows there are no
stat/lstat system calls involved.  I also extended Michal's breakout
of the attributes into a list to the other paragraphs, and rearranged
the order of the paragraphs in the 'stat' docs to make it flow
better and put it in what I think is a more logical/useful order.
