Package: python2.6 Version: 2.6.5+20100706-1 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze
Hi, the class imap4.IMAP4() does not have the expected behaviour. In the documentation (http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.5/library/imaplib.html), it is state that if invoked without any argument, it will try to open an IMAP connection on localhost, port 143. With python 2.6, an exception is raised. Note that if stating 'localhost' as argument, the call has the good behaviour: Python 2.6.5+ (release26-maint, Jul 6 2010, 14:48:45) [GCC 4.4.4] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import imaplib >>> m = imaplib.IMAP4() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.6/imaplib.py", line 163, in __init__ self.open(host, port) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/imaplib.py", line 229, in open self.sock = socket.create_connection((host, port)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 543, in create_connection for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM): socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known >>> m = imaplib.IMAP4('localhost') >>> With python 2.5, the call with no argument is working as expected: Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, Apr 21 2010, 08:44:16) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import imaplib >>> m = imaplib.IMAP4() >>> Antoine -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.2-xxxx-std-ipv4-32 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python2.6 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.8 4.8.26-1 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.6.23.1-4 SQLite 3 shared library ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.6-minimal 2.6.5+20100706-1 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.6 recommends no packages.
