Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Noah Spurrier (noah) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1297059&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
