This patch adds a comment about quoting to the doc string,
and also checks that the 'flags' argument to the STORE command
is appropriately enclosed inside parentheses to avoid quoting.
This patch fixes the "search" command in imaplib. The problem
was that a search can take multiple arguments, but as defined,
would only accept one.
I have also made changes to the test code at the end to be less
verbose by default, but to accept a verbosity argument.
This patch is re: Lucas.Dejonge@awtpl.com.au: [Python-bugs-list] imaplib -
not complying with RFC (PR#218)
Lucas de Jonge reported that the code in imaplib that detects a read-write
to read-only change doesn't comply with RFC 2060.
A change in my last patch could, under certain circumstances,
cause a loop if the connection to the server dropped while
waiting for a command completion. I've changed the code to
re-raise the error after possible debugging output.
Reasons for patches:
1st patch (15,21):
version change
2nd patch (66,72):
This is a patch I found in a Zope product release (quite by accident!).
It relaxes the conditions for matching a literal. I've looked over the
logic, and tested it, and it seems sensible.
3rd patch (117,123):
It appears the quoting matcher was too general, and that the IMAP4
protocol requires characters like ':' in commands to be unquoted.
(This is the patch already sent to Guido.)
4th patch (699,705):
Spelling correction in comment.
5th patch (753,761):
Another patch from the Zope product. It seems that some IMAP4 servers
produce unexpected responses in the middle of valid command/response
sequences. This patch ignores the unexpected responses in this
situation. (How I wish users would send me bug reports with examples!).
last 2 patches: (1015,1028) (1038,1044):
Minor improvements to test code.
I've changed the login command to force proper
quoting of the password argument. I've also added
some extra debugging code, which is removed when
__debug__ is false.
"""
Jochen Hayek has reported a problem with some versions of IMAP4
servers that choose to mix the case in their CAPABILITIES response.
The patch below fixes the problem.
"""
Added a debug function to replace 'print' statements.
Ensured that response attached to 'NO' replies is passed back.
added readonly exception.
Rearranged method order into types.
Ensure select returns a meaningful error on 'NO'.
'NO' returns from authenticate and login raise error with last message,
not list.

Following is a context diff for imaplib.py in the Python1.5.1 distribution.
It fixes 2 bugs. One to do with argument quoting, and the other to do with
caching of un-tagged responses. Apologies for its size.
