Hello I have been trying to figure out a way to parse the subject line of new 
emails in Gmail, the subject line will be commands for another python script. I 
know this isn't the most secure way of doing things but it is for a Beagle 
Bone, I'm really new to python and don't know of this is even possible though I 
don't see why not. The way I thought it would work would to have py check email 
subject lines coming from one sender when it sees a subject  "Command(the 
command to follow)" it would then start another py script with that command, or 
otherwise sees the subject Settings(the item to change(the change)) it would 
change a settings page.
I haven't found any examples of using py to loop back on itself like this, 
mostly I'm sure because this is not secure and easy to hack and clunky for 
remote access, 
I know py can parse emails,  but I cant figure out how to limit to only the 
subject and only if its in that certain format and only if its coming from a 
recognized email address and since I'm using 3.4 it seems all the other kind of 
examples don't work half the time anyway.
can someone point me in the right direction
