Hi - I'm a teacher sometimes when we're holding a two minute silence for an
important occasion an
email comes through makes my computer ping loudly. Is there a python script
to stop these kind of things happening?
;)

but I also am aware of httplib2, but it still seems to be in

What leads you to that conclusion? If you're talking about this:
https://github.com/jcgregorio/httplib2
I don't see any sign that it is alpha version software. According to
the readme file, it is at version 0.8.
I don't see any signs that the author publicly releases any alpha or
beta versions, they all appear to be ready for production. But if
you have seen something that suggests otherwise, please point it
out, because I'm happy to be corrected.
Well, I work from the premise that 0.anything is still a work in
progress
All software is always a work in progress, until such time it is
abandoned.
And how do you determine the abandoned timestamp? If I remember correctly, this
hasn't been updated for several years, and a job for a customer shouldn't be
based on 0.*, years old hypothetical's. It sounds like a very usable product.
and hasn't gotten to a point where the author is comfortable with
general use. I am sure that you disagree.
In the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) community, version 0.x does
not always carry connotations of being unready for use. It may, or it
may not. But normally alpha software will have an a in the version
number, e.g. 0.7a, 0.7b for beta, 0.7rc1 (release candidate 1), 0.7 is
ready for production.
What matters is not my opinion, or yours, but that of the author of the
software, and I don't know what that is.

good catch, and definitely a distinction beginners should be more cognizant of.
it's also good to recognize that a call to bool(match) would render that
statement correct, as the built-in/factory function will return what an object
evaluates to (True [re.match object] or/vs.False [None]).

Also of confusion, the library reference says:
Match objects always have a boolean value of True. Since match()
and
search() return None when there is no match, you can test whether
there was a match with a simple if statement:
match = re.search(pattern, string)
if match:
process(match)
The documentation is incorrect, as you
