Milan Oberkirch added the comment: Maybe I am a bit hyperactive, but I already was at it when receiving your message, so I finished it. Anyhow most of what I have done is completely independent of the API chosen. What I did: 1. I implemented a new authenticate(self, mechanism, authobject) as in imaplib which can be used for all methods 2. I implemented authobjects for the three most important mechanisms 3. login() has a keyarg 'preferred_auth' which is a list of auth-methods (strings)
I think 1. and 2. make sense regardless of how the API should look like in the end, because it's the only way without any code-redundancy. 3 is more a proposal. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34287/smtplibAuthobj.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15014> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
