R. David Murray added the comment: Right. Which is why you get an error if you try to use an empty directory as if it was a maildir :)
create=True creates the *directory* and initializes it. That seems clear to me, and exactly what I would expect. "The mailbox" is the directory. If it already exists, it should be a Maildir folder. I wouldn't want a program messing with an existing directory if it was invalid...it might trash my data :) I don't think even a doc change is needed here, but if you want to propose something we can evaluate it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30088> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
