Iain MacKay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
Knowing that the large read provokes the problem enables one to write
this simple workaround by subclassing IMAP4 without patching the library:
maxRead = 1000000
class MySSL (imaplib.IMAP4_SSL):
def read (self, n):
#print "..Attempting to read %d bytes" % n
if n <= maxRead:
return imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.read (self, n)
else:
soFar = 0
result = ""
while soFar < n:
thisFragmentSize = min(maxRead, n-soFar)
#print "..Reading fragment size %s" % thisFragmentSize
fragment =\
imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.read (self, thisFragmentSize)
result += fragment
soFar += thisFragmentSize # only a few, so not a tragic o/head
return result
and this works just fine.
