R. David Murray added the comment: Are you volunteering to be maintainer, and/or is Piers? If he's changed his mind about the threading, that's good enough for me (and by now he has a lot more experience with the library in actual use).
The biggest barrier to inclusion, IMO, is tests and backward compatibility. There have been enough changes that making sure we don't break backward compatibility will be important, and almost certainly requires more tests than we have now. Does imaplib2 have a test suite? We would need to get approval from python-dev, though. We have ongoing problems with packages that are maintained outside the stdlib...but updating to imaplib2 may be better than leaving it without a maintainer at all. Can we get Piers involved in this conversation directly? ---------- versions: +Python 3.6 -Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11245> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
