\section{Introduction}
|
|
The \module{email} package provides classes and utilities to create,
|
|
parse, generate, and modify email messages, conforming to all the
|
|
relevant email and MIME related RFCs.
|
|
|
|
This document describes version 4.0 of the \module{email} package, which is
|
|
distributed with Python 2.5 and is available as a standalone distutils-based
|
|
package for use with earlier Python versions. \module{email} 4.0 is not
|
|
compatible with Python versions earlier than 2.3. For more information about
|
|
the \module{email} package, including download links and mailing lists, see
|
|
\ulink{Python's email SIG}{http://www.python.org/sigs/email-sig}.
|
|
|
|
The documentation that follows was written for the Python project, so
|
|
if you're reading this as part of the standalone \module{email}
|
|
package documentation, there are a few notes to be aware of:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Deprecation and ``version added'' notes are relative to the
|
|
Python version a feature was added or deprecated. See
|
|
the package history in section \ref{email-pkg-history} for details.
|
|
|
|
\item If you're reading this documentation as part of the
|
|
standalone \module{email} package, some of the internal links to
|
|
other sections of the Python standard library may not resolve.
|
|
|
