You can use usual python import > in the pythonfile. i employed the word "import", but it's abusively, actually i meant that it seems only one file can be assigned to "pythonfile" variable. As i said in my op, i prefer to spread the functions across several python files. And i tried with making one file in which i imported all the necessary functions from the different python files and i assigned this one file to "pythonfile" in offlineimap rc file but offlineimap complains not knowing the corresponding functions when used. > > The official documentation is there: > > https://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html i'll have a look > > There might be some limitations in offlineimap because the library is > not used as-is but there's a wrapper to it.
