Summary: Incorrect return type for search() method

Initial Comment:

The documentation for search() method of the IMAP4
object says 
that it returns a string, but it actually returns a tuple.
>>> print imaplib.IMAP4.search.__doc__
Search mailbox for matching messages.

        (typ, [data]) = <instance>.search(charset,
criterion, ...)

        'data' is space separated list of matching
message numbers.

Error can be seen in docs on page:
        http://docs.python.org/lib/imap4-objects.html

Yours,
Noah
