I'd like to draw attention to: http://bugs.python.org/issue5949 Which is a regression of imaplib.py introduced in r57680. Ever since I switched to python 2.6 on my box, I have had issues with getmail[1] getting stuck in an infinite loop swallowing memory (note: only applies to IMAP SSL connections). While this code is present in older versions of python, it seems to have become a problem recently (2009-05-06 is the earliest report on the issue) perhaps due to a version bump of OpenSSL? I never noticed the problem in python2.5 even though the code is unchanged. Nevertheless, the code is clearly wrong and should be corrected. I would appreciate this bug being resolved before the next release as it effects me on a daily basis. I have submitted a patch, which reflects my local solution. -Scott [1] http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/ -- Scott Dial sc...@scottdial.com scod...@cs.indiana.edu _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
