Remove the asyncore and asynchat modules, deprecated in Python
3.6: use the asyncio module instead.
Remove the smtpd module, deprecated in Python 3.6: the aiosmtpd
module can be used instead, it is based on asyncio.
* Remove asyncore, asynchat and smtpd documentation
* Remove test_asyncore, test_asynchat and test_smtpd
* Rename Lib/asynchat.py to Lib/test/support/_asynchat.py
* Rename Lib/asyncore.py to Lib/test/support/_asyncore.py
* Rename Lib/smtpd.py to Lib/test/support/_smtpd.py
* Remove DeprecationWarning from private _asyncore, _asynchat and
_smtpd modules
* _smtpd: remove deprecated properties
* Move socket related functions from test.support to socket_helper.
* Import socket, nntplib and urllib.error lazily in transient_internet().
* Remove importing multiprocess.
test.support.HOST should be "localhost" as it was in the past. See the bpo-29639.
Tests that need the IP address should use HOSTv4 (added) or the existing HOSTv6 constant.
This changes the definition and fixes tests that needed updating to deal with HOST being
the hostname rather than the hardcoded IP address.
This is only the first step in addressing https://bugs.python.org/issue29639.
Patch by Milan Oberkirch, with a few updates. This changeset also
tweaks the smtpd and whatsnew docs for smtpd into what should be
the final form for the 3.5 release.
Patch by Milan Oberkirch, developed as part of his 2014 GSOC project.
Note that this also fixes a bug in mock_socket ('getpeername' was returning a
simple string instead of the tuple required for IPvX protocols), a bug in
DebugServer with respect to handling binary data (should have been fixed when
decode_data was introduced, but wasn't found until this patch was written),
and a long-standing bug in DebugServer (it was printing an extra blank line at
the end of the displayed message text).
Otherwise smtpd is restricted to 7bit clean data, since even if the
incoming data is actually utf-8, it will often break things to decode
it before parsing the message.
Patch by Maciej Szulik, with some adjustments (mostly the warning
support).
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.
This is a backward incompatible change, but since it is an RFC conformance bug
and all real mail servers that I know of do conform to the RFC in this regard,
I believe it is an acceptable change for a feature release.
Patch by Jason Killen.
