As I mentioned in issue25008, removing smtpd would be a hardship for myself, and I don't think I'm alone. I would however love to have (and maybe even work on <wink>) an asyncio-based version. I do think it is useful to have an SMTP server in the stdlib - and actually, I'd also like to have an LMTP server there too. But I think we can take baby steps toward this by some folks getting together and writing a third party asyncio-based module, releasing this on PyPI and eventually leading to its inclusion in Python down the road. I think there's no hurry to remove smtpd, but it can be deprecated-in-place like optparse, as someone else mentioned. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25002> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
