MemoryError in imaplib?

Hi, When using "imaplib" to fetch e-mail messages, the "IMAP4_SSL.read" and "IMAP4_SSL.readline" functions sometimes throw a "MemoryError" exception in "chunks.append(data)" and "line.append(char)", respectively. But if I change those functions to use instead a "cStringIO" buffer object, then that

Extracting zip files containing directories with ZipFile

Hi, Does the ZipFile class correctly handles directories contained within zip files? For example, calling "extractall" on an archive with only "folder/ file.txt" in it results in an IOError saying "No such file or directory" for "./folder/file.txt", because it created a file named "folder" instea

Using percent signs with SafeConfigParser

Hi, Does the SafeConfigParser class correctly detects lone percent signs? For example, shouldn't the string "100%%" be accepted as a valid value? Executing the code below should only print one error, instead it prints 2. (I've tested this with version 2.6.1 on Windows XP.) It seems the "_badperce

Hi, Executing the example below doesn't produce the expected behavior, but using the commented code does. Is this normal, or is it a problem with Python? I've tested it with version 2.6.1 on Windows XP. Thanks, -- from abc import * from types import * import re class Base (ObjectType): __m

Re: Public imports

So, no chance of doing this: # "A.py" from __future__ import division, with_statement # "B.py" from A import * print 1 / 2 ...and printing 0.5, right? Too bad :) Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Public imports

Hi, Does Python support public imports instead of the default private? Something like D's "public import" (see ) or even Perl's "export_to_level". Thanks, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
