Re: Cannot connect to IMAP server in Python 3.2

Some Linux distributions will certainly switch to Python 3 by default, sooner or later. Fedora has decided to do so for their 22 release: http://lwn.net/Articles/571528/ -- DW -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Building a mapping between the results of groups and groupdict on the
match object should be quite straightforward.
