R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: New patch that takes a middle ground on the API: sendmail accepts string and bytes, and a new method send_message accepts a Message object with a more convenient signature. I think send_message does belong in smtplib since it would be awkward and unintuitive to put the helper function in email, since one needs to create an SMTP server to call sendmail.
I am satisfied with this version; the delta against the existing code and docs is smaller and the API feels clean. The new patch also updates a couple of the email package examples that use sendmail to use send_message (one of the sendmail examples is left untouched). If there are no objections I'll commit this this weekend sometime. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19507/sendmail_message_2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10321> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
