Much-needed merge (using svnmerge.py this time) of trunk changes into p3yk. Inherits test_gzip/test_tarfile failures on 64-bit platforms from the trunk, but I don't want the merge to hang around too long (even though the regular p3yk-contributors are/have been busy with other things.)

Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import inside the function. As a result, due to Python's import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows (directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile) hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module. This is a depressingly frequent problem, and deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows, and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin with (ntpath needs a different implementation depending on whether we're actually running on Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_ the function). Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py is a convenient place to add tests for them. ........ r45634 | phillip.eby | 2006-04-21 23:53:37 +0200 (Fri, 21 Apr 2006) | 2 lines Guido wrote contextlib, not me, but thanks anyway. ;) ........ r45636 | andrew.kuchling | 2006-04-22 03:51:41 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 1 line Typo fixes ........ r45638 | andrew.kuchling | 2006-04-22 03:58:40 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 1 line Fix comment typo ........ r45639 | andrew.kuchling | 2006-04-22 04:06:03 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 8 lines Make copy of test_mailbox.py.

Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded by the 2005 Summer of Code). The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message. The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility. The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing code. (The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.) ........ r45641 | tim.peters | 2006-04-22 07:52:59 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 2 lines Whitespace normalization. ........ r45642 | neal.norwitz | 2006-04-22 08:07:46 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 1 line Add libctypes as a dep ........ r45643 | martin.v.loewis | 2006-04-22 13:15:41 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 1 line Fix more ssize_t problems. ........ r45644 | martin.v.loewis | 2006-04-22 13:40:03 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 1 line Fix more ssize_t issues. ........ r45645 | george.yoshida | 2006-04-22 17:10:49 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 2 lines Typo fixes ........ r45647 | martin.v.loewis | 2006-04-22 17:19:54 +0200 (Sat, 22 Apr 2006) | 1 line Port to Python 2.5.

The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context objects that already exist in various application domains (such as decimal.Context) - contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the use of that decorator - decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable.

In rare cases of strings specifying true values near sys.maxint, and oddball bases (not decimal or a power of 2), int(string, base) could deliver insane answers. This repairs all such problems, and also speeds string->int significantly. On my box, here are % speedups for decimal strings of various lengths: length speedup ------ ------- 1 12.4% 2 15.7% 3 20.6% 4 28.1% 5 33.2% 6 37.5% 7 41.9% 8 46.3% 9 51.2% 10 19.5% 11 19.9% 12 23.9% 13 23.7% 14 23.3% 15 24.9% 16 25.3% 17 28.3% 18 27.9% 19 35.7% Note that the difference between 9 and 10 is the difference between short and long Python ints on a 32-bit box. The patch doesn't actually do anything to speed conversion to long: the speedup is due to detecting "unsigned long" overflow more quickly. This is a bugfix candidate, but it's a non-trivial patch and it would be painful to separate the "bug fix" from the "speed up" parts. ........ r46134 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 20:46:41 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line Patch #1493701: performance enhancements for struct module. ........ r46136 | andrew.kuchling | 2006-05-23 21:00:45 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line Remove duplicate item ........ r46141 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 21:09:51 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line revert #1493701 ........ r46142 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 21:11:34 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line patch #1493701: performance enhancements for struct module ........ r46144 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 21:12:41 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line patch #1493701: performance enhancements for struct module ........ r46148 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 21:25:52 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line fix linking issue, warnings, in struct ........ r46149 | andrew.kuchling | 2006-05-23 21:29:38 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line Add two items ........ r46150 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 21:31:23 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line forward declaration for PyStructType ........ r46151 | bob.ippolito | 2006-05-23 21:32:25 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line fix typo in _struct ........ r46152 | andrew.kuchling | 2006-05-23 21:32:35 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 1 line Add item ........ r46153 | tim.peters | 2006-05-23 21:34:37 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 3 lines Get the Windows build working again (recover from `struct` module changes). ........ r46155 | fredrik.lundh | 2006-05-23 21:47:35 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 3 lines return 0 on misses, not -1. ........ r46156 | tim.peters | 2006-05-23 23:51:35 +0200 (Tue, 23 May 2006) | 4 lines test_struct grew weird behavior under regrtest.py -R, due to a module-level cache.

Originally it allocated 0 items and used the list growth during append. Now it preallocates 12 items so the first few appends don't need list reallocs. ("Here are some words ."*2).split(None, 1) is 7% faster ("Here are some words ."*2).split() is is 15% faster (Your milage may vary, see dealership for details.) File parsing like this for line in f: count += len(line.split()) is also about 15% faster. There is a slowdown of about 3% for large strings because of the additional overhead of checking if the append is to a preallocated region of the list or not. This will be the rare case. It could be improved with special case code but we decided it was not useful enough. There is a cost of 12*sizeof(PyObject *) bytes per list. For the normal case of file parsing this is not a problem because of the lists have a short lifetime. We have not come up with cases where this is a problem in real life. I chose 12 because human text averages about 11 words per line in books, one of my data sets averages 6.2 words with a final peak at 11 words per line, and I work with a tab delimited data set with 8 tabs per line (or 9 words per line). 12 encompasses all of these.

-This module defines a number of classes that allow easy and uniform
-access to mail messages in a (\UNIX) mailbox.
+This module defines two classes, \class{Mailbox} and \class{Message}, for
+accessing and manipulating on-disk mailboxes and the messages they contain.
+\class{Mailbox} offers a dictionary-like mapping from keys to messages.
+\class{Message} extends the \module{email.Message} module's \class{Message}
+class with format-specific state and behavior. Supported mailbox formats are
+Maildir, mbox, MH, Babyl, and MMDF.
+
+\begin{seealso}
+    \seemodule{email}{Represent and manipulate messages.}
+\end{seealso}
+
+\subsection{\class{Mailbox} objects}
+\label{mailbox-objects}
+
+\begin{classdesc*}{Mailbox}
+A mailbox, which may be inspected and modified.
+\end{classdesc*}
+
+The \class{Mailbox} interface is dictionary-like, with small keys
+corresponding to messages. Keys are issued by the \class{Mailbox} instance
+with which they will be used and are only meaningful to that \class{Mailbox}
+instance. A key continues to identify a message even if the corresponding
+message is modified, such as by replacing it with another message. Messages may
+be added to a \class{Mailbox} instance using the set-like method
+\method{add()} and removed using a \code{del} statement or the set-like methods
+\method{remove()} and \method{discard()}.
+
+\class{Mailbox} interface semantics differ from dictionary semantics in some
+noteworthy ways. Each time a message is requested, a new representation
+(typically a \class{Message} instance) is generated, based upon the current
+state of the mailbox. Similarly, when a message is added to a \class{Mailbox}
+instance, the provided message representation's contents are copied. In neither
+case is a reference to the message representation kept by the \class{Mailbox}
+instance.
+
+The default \class{Mailbox} iterator iterates over message representations, not
+keys as the default dictionary iterator does. Moreover, modification of a
+mailbox during iteration is safe and well-defined. Messages added to the
+mailbox after an iterator is created will not be seen by the iterator. Messages
+removed from the mailbox before the iterator yields them will be silently
+skipped, though using a key from an iterator may result in a
+\exception{KeyError} exception if the corresponding message is subsequently
+removed.
+
+\class{Mailbox} itself is intended to define an interface and to be inherited
+from by format-specific subclasses but is not intended to be instantiated.
+Instead, you should instantiate a subclass.
+
+\class{Mailbox} instances have the following methods:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add}{message}
+Add \var{message} to the mailbox and return the key that has been assigned to
+it.
+
+Parameter \var{message} may be a \class{Message} instance, an
+\class{email.Message.Message} instance, a string, or a file-like object (which
+should be open in text mode). If \var{message} is an instance of the
+appropriate format-specific \class{Message} subclass (e.g., if it's an
+\class{mboxMessage} instance and this is an \class{mbox} instance), its
+format-specific information is used. Otherwise, reasonable defaults for
+format-specific information are used.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove}{key}
+\methodline{__delitem__}{key}
+\methodline{discard}{key}
+Delete the message corresponding to \var{key} from the mailbox.
+
+If no such message exists, a \exception{KeyError} exception is raised if the
+method was called as \method{remove()} or \method{__delitem__()} but no
+exception is raised if the method was called as \method{discard()}. The
+behavior of \method{discard()} may be preferred if the underlying mailbox
+format supports concurrent modification by other processes.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{__setitem__}{key, message}
+Replace the message corresponding to \var{key} with \var{message}. Raise a
+\exception{KeyError} exception if no message already corresponds to \var{key}.
+
+As with \method{add()}, parameter \var{message} may be a \class{Message}
+instance, an \class{email.Message.Message} instance, a string, or a file-like
+object (which should be open in text mode). If \var{message} is an instance of
+the appropriate format-specific \class{Message} subclass (e.g., if it's an
+\class{mboxMessage} instance and this is an \class{mbox} instance), its
+format-specific information is used. Otherwise, the format-specific information
+of the message that currently corresponds to \var{key} is left unchanged. 
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{iterkeys}{}
+\methodline{keys}{}
+Return an iterator over all keys if called as \method{iterkeys()} or return a
+list of keys if called as \method{keys()}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{itervalues}{}
+\methodline{__iter__}{}
+\methodline{values}{}
+Return an iterator over representations of all messages if called as
+\method{itervalues()} or \method{__iter__()} or return a list of such
+representations if called as \method{values()}. The messages are represented as
+instances of the appropriate format-specific \class{Message} subclass unless a
+custom message factory was specified when the \class{Mailbox} instance was
+initialized. \note{The behavior of \method{__iter__()} is unlike that of
+dictionaries, which iterate over keys.}
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{iteritems}{}
+\methodline{items}{}
+Return an iterator over (\var{key}, \var{message}) pairs, where \var{key} is a
+key and \var{message} is a message representation, if called as
+\method{iteritems()} or return a list of such pairs if called as
+\method{items()}. The messages are represented as instances of the appropriate
+format-specific \class{Message} subclass unless a custom message factory was
+specified when the \class{Mailbox} instance was initialized.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get}{key\optional{, default=None}}
+\methodline{__getitem__}{key}
+Return a representation of the message corresponding to \var{key}. If no such

+initialized.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_message}{key}

+\begin{methoddesc}{get_file}{key}
+Return a file-like representation of the message corresponding to \var{key},

+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{update}{arg}
+Parameter \var{arg} should be a \var{key}-to-\var{message} mapping or an

+is set to \var{message} as if by using \method{__setitem__()}. As with
+\method{__setitem__()}, each \var{key} must already correspond to a message in

+\note{Unlike with dictionaries, keyword arguments are not supported.}
+\end{methoddesc}

+\subsubsection{\class{Maildir}}
+\label{mailbox-maildir}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{Maildir}{dirname\optional{, factory=rfc822.Message\optional{,
+create=True}}}
+A subclass of \class{Mailbox} for mailboxes in Maildir format. Parameter
+\var{factory} is a callable object that accepts a file-like message
+representation (which behaves as if opened in binary mode) and returns a custom
+representation. If \var{factory} is \code{None}, \class{MaildirMessage} is used
+as the default message representation. If \var{create} is \code{True}, the
+mailbox is created if it does not exist.
+
+It is for historical reasons that \var{factory} defaults to
+\class{rfc822.Message} and that \var{dirname} is named as such rather than
+\var{path}. For a \class{Maildir} instance that behaves like instances of other
+\class{Mailbox} subclasses, set \var{factory} to \code{None}.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+Maildir is a directory-based mailbox format invented for the qmail mail
+transfer agent and now widely supported by other programs. Messages in a
+Maildir mailbox are stored in separate files within a common directory
+structure. This design allows Maildir mailboxes to be accessed and modified by
+multiple unrelated programs without data corruption, so file locking is
+unnecessary.
+
+Maildir mailboxes contain three subdirectories, namely: \file{tmp}, \file{new},
+and \file{cur}. Messages are created momentarily in the \file{tmp} subdirectory
+and then moved to the \file{new} subdirectory to finalize delivery. A mail user
+agent may subsequently move the message to the \file{cur} subdirectory and
+store information about the state of the message in a special "info" section
+appended to its file name.
+
+Folders of the style introduced by the Courier mail transfer agent are also
+supported. Any subdirectory of the main mailbox is considered a folder if
+\character{.} is the first character in its name. Folder names are represented
+by \class{Maildir} without the leading \character{.}. Each folder is itself a
+Maildir mailbox but should not contain other folders. Instead, a logical
+nesting is indicated using \character{.} to delimit levels, e.g.,
+"Archived.2005.07".
+
+\begin{notice}
+The Maildir specification requires the use of a colon (\character{:}) in
+certain message file names. However, some operating systems do not permit this
+character in file names, If you wish to use a Maildir-like format on such an
+operating system, you should specify another character to use instead. The
+exclamation point (\character{!}) is a popular choice. For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+import mailbox
+mailbox.Maildir.colon = '!'
+\end{verbatim}
+The \member{colon} attribute may also be set on a per-instance basis.
+\end{notice}
+
+\class{Maildir} instances have all of the methods of \class{Mailbox} in
+addition to the following:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{list_folders}{}
+Return a list of the names of all folders.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_folder}{folder}
+Return a \class{Maildir} instance representing the folder whose name is
+\var{folder}. A \exception{NoSuchMailboxError} exception is raised if the
+folder does not exist.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add_folder}{folder}
+Create a folder whose name is \var{folder} and return a \class{Maildir}
+instance representing it.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove_folder}{folder}
+Delete the folder whose name is \var{folder}. If the folder contains any
+messages, a \exception{NotEmptyError} exception will be raised and the folder
+will not be deleted.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{clean}{}
+Delete temporary files from the mailbox that have not been accessed in the
+last 36 hours. The Maildir specification says that mail-reading programs
+should do this occasionally.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+Some \class{Mailbox} methods implemented by \class{Maildir} deserve special
+remarks:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add}{message}
+\methodline[Maildir]{__setitem__}{key, message}
+\methodline[Maildir]{update}{arg}
+\warning{These methods generate unique file names based upon the current
+process ID. When using multiple threads, undetected name clashes may occur and
+cause corruption of the mailbox unless threads are coordinated to avoid using
+these methods to manipulate the same mailbox simultaneously.}
+\end{methoddesc}

+\begin{methoddesc}{flush}{}
+All changes to Maildir mailboxes are immediately applied, so this method does
+nothing.
+\end{methoddesc}

+\subsubsection{\class{mbox}}
+\label{mailbox-mbox}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{mbox}{path\optional{, factory=None\optional{, create=True}}}
+A subclass of \class{Mailbox} for mailboxes in mbox format. Parameter
+\var{factory} is a callable object that accepts a file-like message
+representation (which behaves as if opened in binary mode) and returns a custom
+representation. If \var{factory} is \code{None}, \class{mboxMessage} is used as
+the default message representation. If \var{create} is \code{True}, the mailbox
+is created if it does not exist.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+The mbox format is the classic format for storing mail on \UNIX{} systems. All
+messages in an mbox mailbox are stored in a single file with the beginning of
+each message indicated by a line whose first five characters are "From~".
+
+Several variations of the mbox format exist to address perceived shortcomings
+in the original. In the interest of compatibility, \class{mbox} implements the
+original format, which is sometimes referred to as \dfn{mboxo}. This means that
+the \mailheader{Content-Length} header, if present, is ignored and that any
+occurrences of "From~" at the beginning of a line in a message body are
+transformed to ">From~" when storing the message, although occurences of
+">From~" are not transformed to "From~" when reading the message.
+
+Some \class{Mailbox} methods implemented by \class{mbox} deserve special
+remarks:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_file}{key}
+Using the file after calling \method{flush()} or \method{close()} on the
+\class{mbox} instance may yield unpredictable results or raise an exception.

+\subsubsection{\class{MH}}
+\label{mailbox-mh}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{MH}{path\optional{, factory=None\optional{, create=True}}}
+A subclass of \class{Mailbox} for mailboxes in MH format. Parameter
+\var{factory} is a callable object that accepts a file-like message
+representation (which behaves as if opened in binary mode) and returns a custom
+representation. If \var{factory} is \code{None}, \class{MHMessage} is used as
+the default message representation. If \var{create} is \code{True}, the mailbox
+is created if it does not exist.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+MH is a directory-based mailbox format invented for the MH Message Handling
+System, a mail user agent. Each message in an MH mailbox resides in its own
+file. An MH mailbox may contain other MH mailboxes (called \dfn{folders}) in
+addition to messages. Folders may be nested indefinitely. MH mailboxes also
+support \dfn{sequences}, which are named lists used to logically group messages
+without moving them to sub-folders. Sequences are defined in a file called
+\file{.mh_sequences} in each folder.
+
+The \class{MH} class manipulates MH mailboxes, but it does not attempt to
+emulate all of \program{mh}'s behaviors. In particular, it does not modify and
+is not affected by the \file{context} or \file{.mh_profile} files that are used
+by \program{mh} to store its state and configuration.
+
+\class{MH} instances have all of the methods of \class{Mailbox} in addition to
+the following:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{list_folders}{}
+Return a list of the names of all folders.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_folder}{folder}
+Return an \class{MH} instance representing the folder whose name is
+\var{folder}. A \exception{NoSuchMailboxError} exception is raised if the
+folder does not exist.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add_folder}{folder}
+Create a folder whose name is \var{folder} and return an \class{MH} instance
+representing it.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove_folder}{folder}
+Delete the folder whose name is \var{folder}. If the folder contains any
+messages, a \exception{NotEmptyError} exception will be raised and the folder
+will not be deleted.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_sequences}{}
+Return a dictionary of sequence names mapped to key lists. If there are no
+sequences, the empty dictionary is returned.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_sequences}{sequences}
+Re-define the sequences that exist in the mailbox based upon \var{sequences}, a
+dictionary of names mapped to key lists, like returned by
+\method{get_sequences()}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{pack}{}
+Rename messages in the mailbox as necessary to eliminate gaps in numbering.
+Entries in the sequences list are updated correspondingly. \note{Already-issued
+keys are invalidated by this operation and should not be subsequently used.}
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+Some \class{Mailbox} methods implemented by \class{MH} deserve special remarks:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove}{key}
+\methodline{__delitem__}{key}
+\methodline{discard}{key}
+These methods immediately delete the message. The MH convention of marking a
+message for deletion by prepending a comma to its name is not used.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{lock}{}
+\methodline{unlock}{}
+Three locking mechanisms are used---dot locking and, if available, the
+\cfunction{flock()} and \cfunction{lockf()} system calls. For MH mailboxes,
+locking the mailbox means locking the \file{.mh_sequences} file and, only for
+the duration of any operations that affect them, locking individual message
+files.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_file}{key}
+Depending upon the host platform, it may not be possible to remove the

+\begin{classdesc}{Babyl}{path\optional{, factory=None\optional{, create=True}}}
+A subclass of \class{Mailbox} for mailboxes in Babyl format. Parameter
+\var{factory} is a callable object that accepts a file-like message
+representation (which behaves as if opened in binary mode) and returns a custom
+representation. If \var{factory} is \code{None}, \class{BabylMessage} is used
+as the default message representation. If \var{create} is \code{True}, the
+mailbox is created if it does not exist.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+Babyl is a single-file mailbox format used by the Rmail mail user agent
+included with Emacs. The beginning of a message is indicated by a line
+containing the two characters Control-Underscore
+(\character{\textbackslash037}) and Control-L (\character{\textbackslash014}).
+The end of a message is indicated by the start of the next message or, in the
+case of the last message, a line containing a Control-Underscore
+(\character{\textbackslash037}) character.
+
+Messages in a Babyl mailbox have two sets of headers, original headers and
+so-called visible headers. Visible headers are typically a subset of the
+original headers that have been reformatted or abridged to be more attractive.
+Each message in a Babyl mailbox also has an accompanying list of \dfn{labels},
+or short strings that record extra information about the message, and a list of
+all user-defined labels found in the mailbox is kept in the Babyl options
+section.
+
+\class{Babyl} instances have all of the methods of \class{Mailbox} in addition
+to the following:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_labels}{}
+Return a list of the names of all user-defined labels used in the mailbox.
+\note{The actual messages are inspected to determine which labels exist in the
+mailbox rather than consulting the list of labels in the Babyl options section,
+but the Babyl section is updated whenever the mailbox is modified.}
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+Some \class{Mailbox} methods implemented by \class{Babyl} deserve special
+remarks:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_file}{key}
+In Babyl mailboxes, the headers of a message are not stored contiguously with
+the body of the message. To generate a file-like representation, the headers
+and body are copied together into a \class{StringIO} instance (from the
+\module{StringIO} module), which has an API identical to that of a file. As a
+result, the file-like object is truly independent of the underlying mailbox but
+does not save memory compared to a string representation.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{lock}{}
+\methodline{unlock}{}

+\var{factory} is a callable object that accepts a file-like message
+representation (which behaves as if opened in binary mode) and returns a custom

+the default message representation. If \var{create} is \code{True}, the mailbox
+is created if it does not exist.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+MMDF is a single-file mailbox format invented for the Multichannel Memorandum
+Distribution Facility, a mail transfer agent. Each message is in the same form
+as an mbox message but is bracketed before and after by lines containing four
+Control-A (\character{\textbackslash001}) characters. As with the mbox format,
+the beginning of each message is indicated by a line whose first five
+characters are "From~", but additional occurrences of "From~" are not
+transformed to ">From~" when storing messages because the extra message
+separator lines prevent mistaking such occurrences for the starts of subsequent
+messages.
+
+Some \class{Mailbox} methods implemented by \class{MMDF} deserve special
+remarks:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_file}{key}

+\subsection{\class{Message} objects}
+\label{mailbox-message-objects}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{Message}{\optional{message}}
+A subclass of the \module{email.Message} module's \class{Message}. Subclasses
+of \class{mailbox.Message} add mailbox-format-specific state and behavior.
+
+If \var{message} is omitted, the new instance is created in a default, empty
+state. If \var{message} is an \class{email.Message.Message} instance, its
+contents are copied; furthermore, any format-specific information is converted
+insofar as possible if \var{message} is a \class{Message} instance. If
+\var{message} is a string or a file, it should contain an \rfc{2822}-compliant
+message, which is read and parsed.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+The format-specific state and behaviors offered by subclasses vary, but in
+general it is only the properties that are not specific to a particular mailbox
+that are supported (although presumably the properties are specific to a
+particular mailbox format). For example, file offsets for single-file mailbox
+formats and file names for directory-based mailbox formats are not retained,
+because they are only applicable to the original mailbox. But state such as
+whether a message has been read by the user or marked as important is retained,
+because it applies to the message itself.
+
+There is no requirement that \class{Message} instances be used to represent
+messages retrieved using \class{Mailbox} instances. In some situations, the
+time and memory required to generate \class{Message} representations might not
+not acceptable. For such situations, \class{Mailbox} instances also offer
+string and file-like representations, and a custom message factory may be
+specified when a \class{Mailbox} instance is initialized. 
+
+\subsubsection{\class{MaildirMessage}}
+\label{mailbox-maildirmessage}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{MaildirMessage}{\optional{message}}
+A message with Maildir-specific behaviors. Parameter \var{message}
+has the same meaning as with the \class{Message} constructor.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+Typically, a mail user agent application moves all of the messages in the
+\file{new} subdirectory to the \file{cur} subdirectory after the first time the
+user opens and closes the mailbox, recording that the messages are old whether
+or not they've actually been read. Each message in \file{cur} has an "info"
+section added to its file name to store information about its state. (Some mail
+readers may also add an "info" section to messages in \file{new}.) The "info"
+section may take one of two forms: it may contain "2," followed by a list of
+standardized flags (e.g., "2,FR") or it may contain "1," followed by so-called
+experimental information. Standard flags for Maildir messages are as follows:
+
+\begin{tableiii}{l|l|l}{textrm}{Flag}{Meaning}{Explanation}
+\lineiii{D}{Draft}{Under composition}
+\lineiii{F}{Flagged}{Marked as important}
+\lineiii{P}{Passed}{Forwarded, resent, or bounced}
+\lineiii{R}{Replied}{Replied to}
+\lineiii{S}{Seen}{Read}
+\lineiii{T}{Trashed}{Marked for subsequent deletion}
+\end{tableiii}
+
+\class{MaildirMessage} instances offer the following methods:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_subdir}{}
+Return either "new" (if the message should be stored in the \file{new}
+subdirectory) or "cur" (if the message should be stored in the \file{cur}
+subdirectory). \note{A message is typically moved from \file{new} to \file{cur}
+after its mailbox has been accessed, whether or not the message is has been
+read. A message \code{msg} has been read if \code{"S" not in msg.get_flags()}
+is \code{True}.}
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_subdir}{subdir}
+Set the subdirectory the message should be stored in. Parameter \var{subdir}
+must be either "new" or "cur".
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_flags}{}
+Return a string specifying the flags that are currently set. If the message
+complies with the standard Maildir format, the result is the concatenation in
+alphabetical order of zero or one occurrence of each of \character{D},
+\character{F}, \character{P}, \character{R}, \character{S}, and \character{T}.
+The empty string is returned if no flags are set or if "info" contains
+experimental semantics.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_flags}{flags}
+Set the flags specified by \var{flags} and unset all others.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add_flag}{flag}
+Set the flag(s) specified by \var{flag} without changing other flags. To add
+more than one flag at a time, \var{flag} may be a string of more than one
+character. The current "info" is overwritten whether or not it contains
+experimental information rather than
+flags.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove_flag}{flag}
+Unset the flag(s) specified by \var{flag} without changing other flags. To
+remove more than one flag at a time, \var{flag} maybe a string of more than one
+character. If "info" contains experimental information rather than flags, the
+current "info" is not modified.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_date}{}
+Return the delivery date of the message as a floating-point number representing
+seconds since the epoch.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_date}{date}
+Set the delivery date of the message to \var{date}, a floating-point number
+representing seconds since the epoch.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_info}{}
+Return a string containing the "info" for a message. This is useful for
+accessing and modifying "info" that is experimental (i.e., not a list of

+\subsubsection{\class{mboxMessage}}
+\label{mailbox-mboxmessage}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{mboxMessage}{\optional{message}}
+A message with mbox-specific behaviors. Parameter \var{message} has the same
+meaning as with the \class{Message} constructor.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+Messages in an mbox mailbox are stored together in a single file. The sender's
+envelope address and the time of delivery are typically stored in a line
+beginning with "From~" that is used to indicate the start of a message, though
+there is considerable variation in the exact format of this data among mbox
+implementations. Flags that indicate the state of the message, such as whether
+it has been read or marked as important, are typically stored in
+\mailheader{Status} and \mailheader{X-Status} headers.
+
+Conventional flags for mbox messages are as follows:
+
+\begin{tableiii}{l|l|l}{textrm}{Flag}{Meaning}{Explanation}
+\lineiii{R}{Read}{Read}
+\lineiii{O}{Old}{Previously detected by MUA}
+\lineiii{D}{Deleted}{Marked for subsequent deletion}
+\lineiii{F}{Flagged}{Marked as important}
+\lineiii{A}{Answered}{Replied to}
+\end{tableiii}
+
+The "R" and "O" flags are stored in the \mailheader{Status} header, and the
+"D", "F", and "A" flags are stored in the \mailheader{X-Status} header. The
+flags and headers typically appear in the order mentioned.
+
+\class{mboxMessage} instances offer the following methods:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_from}{}
+Return a string representing the "From~" line that marks the start of the
+message in an mbox mailbox. The leading "From~" and the trailing newline are
+excluded.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_from}{from_\optional{, time_=None}}
+Set the "From~" line to \var{from_}, which should be specified without a
+leading "From~" or trailing newline. For convenience, \var{time_} may be
+specified and will be formatted appropriately and appended to \var{from_}. If
+\var{time_} is specified, it should be a \class{struct_time} instance, a tuple
+suitable for passing to \method{time.strftime()}, or \code{True} (to use
+\method{time.gmtime()}).
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_flags}{}
+Return a string specifying the flags that are currently set. If the message
+complies with the conventional format, the result is the concatenation in the
+following order of zero or one occurrence of each of \character{R},
+\character{O}, \character{D}, \character{F}, and \character{A}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_flags}{flags}
+Set the flags specified by \var{flags} and unset all others. Parameter
+\var{flags} should be the concatenation in any order of zero or more
+occurrences of each of \character{R}, \character{O}, \character{D},
+\character{F}, and \character{A}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add_flag}{flag}
+Set the flag(s) specified by \var{flag} without changing other flags. To add
+more than one flag at a time, \var{flag} may be a string of more than one
+character.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove_flag}{flag}
+Unset the flag(s) specified by \var{flag} without changing other flags. To
+remove more than one flag at a time, \var{flag} maybe a string of more than one
+character.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+When an \class{mboxMessage} instance is created based upon a
+\class{MaildirMessage} instance, a "From~" line is generated based upon the
+\class{MaildirMessage} instance's delivery date, and the following conversions
+take place:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}
+    {Resulting state}{\class{MaildirMessage} state}
+\lineii{R flag}{S flag}
+\lineii{O flag}{"cur" subdirectory}
+\lineii{D flag}{T flag}
+\lineii{F flag}{F flag}
+\lineii{A flag}{R flag}
+\end{tableii}
+
+When an \class{mboxMessage} instance is created based upon an \class{MHMessage}
+instance, the following conversions take place:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}

+\lineii{R flag and O flag}{no "unseen" sequence}
+\lineii{O flag}{"unseen" sequence}

+\lineii{R flag and O flag}{no "unseen" label}
+\lineii{O flag}{"unseen" label}
+\lineii{D flag}{"deleted" label}
+\lineii{A flag}{"answered" label}
+\end{tableii}
+
+When a \class{Message} instance is created based upon an \class{MMDFMessage}
+instance, the "From~" line is copied and all flags directly correspond:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}

+\lineii{A flag}{A flag}
+\end{tableii}
+
+\subsubsection{\class{MHMessage}}
+\label{mailbox-mhmessage}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{MHMessage}{\optional{message}}
+A message with MH-specific behaviors. Parameter \var{message} has the same
+meaning as with the \class{Message} constructor.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+MH messages do not support marks or flags in the traditional sense, but they do
+support sequences, which are logical groupings of arbitrary messages. Some mail
+reading programs (although not the standard \program{mh} and \program{nmh}) use
+sequences in much the same way flags are used with other formats, as follows:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}{Sequence}{Explanation}
+\lineii{unseen}{Not read, but previously detected by MUA}
+\lineii{replied}{Replied to}
+\lineii{flagged}{Marked as important}
+\end{tableii}
+
+\class{MHMessage} instances offer the following methods:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_sequences}{}
+Return a list of the names of sequences that include this message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_sequences}{sequences}
+Set the list of sequences that include this message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add_sequence}{sequence}
+Add \var{sequence} to the list of sequences that include this message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove_sequence}{sequence}
+Remove \var{sequence} from the list of sequences that include this message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+When an \class{MHMessage} instance is created based upon a
+\class{MaildirMessage} instance, the following conversions take place:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}
+    {Resulting state}{\class{MaildirMessage} state}
+\lineii{"unseen" sequence}{no S flag}
+\lineii{"replied" sequence}{R flag}
+\lineii{"flagged" sequence}{F flag}
+\end{tableii}
+
+When an \class{MHMessage} instance is created based upon an \class{mboxMessage}
+or \class{MMDFMessage} instance, the \mailheader{Status} and
+\mailheader{X-Status} headers are omitted and the following conversions take
+place:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}
+    {Resulting state}{\class{mboxMessage} or \class{MMDFMessage} state}
+\lineii{"unseen" sequence}{no R flag}
+\lineii{"replied" sequence}{A flag}
+\lineii{"flagged" sequence}{F flag}
+\end{tableii}
+
+When an \class{MHMessage} instance is created based upon a \class{BabylMessage}
+instance, the following conversions take place:

+\end{tableii}
+
+\subsubsection{\class{BabylMessage}}
+\label{mailbox-babylmessage}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{BabylMessage}{\optional{message}}
+A message with Babyl-specific behaviors. Parameter \var{message} has the same
+meaning as with the \class{Message} constructor.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+Certain message labels, called \dfn{attributes}, are defined by convention to
+have special meanings. The attributes are as follows:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}{Label}{Explanation}
+\lineii{unseen}{Not read, but previously detected by MUA}
+\lineii{deleted}{Marked for subsequent deletion}
+\lineii{filed}{Copied to another file or mailbox}
+\lineii{answered}{Replied to}
+\lineii{forwarded}{Forwarded}
+\lineii{edited}{Modified by the user}
+\lineii{resent}{Resent}
+\end{tableii}
+
+By default, Rmail displays only
+visible headers. The \class{BabylMessage} class, though, uses the original
+headers because they are more complete. Visible headers may be accessed
+explicitly if desired.
+
+\class{BabylMessage} instances offer the following methods:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_labels}{}
+Return a list of labels on the message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_labels}{labels}
+Set the list of labels on the message to \var{labels}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{add_label}{label}
+Add \var{label} to the list of labels on the message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{remove_label}{label}
+Remove \var{label} from the list of labels on the message.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_visible}{}
+Return an \class{Message} instance whose headers are the message's visible
+headers and whose body is empty.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_visible}{visible}
+Set the message's visible headers to be the same as the headers in
+\var{message}. Parameter \var{visible} should be a \class{Message} instance, an
+\class{email.Message.Message} instance, a string, or a file-like object (which
+should be open in text mode).
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{update_visible}{}
+When a \class{BabylMessage} instance's original headers are modified, the
+visible headers are not automatically modified to correspond. This method
+updates the visible headers as follows: each visible header with a
+corresponding original header is set to the value of the original header, each
+visible header without a corresponding original header is removed, and any of
+\mailheader{Date}, \mailheader{From}, \mailheader{Reply-To}, \mailheader{To},
+\mailheader{CC}, and \mailheader{Subject} that are present in the original
+headers but not the visible headers are added to the visible headers.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+When a \class{BabylMessage} instance is created based upon a
+\class{MaildirMessage} instance, the following conversions take place:
+
+\begin{tableii}{l|l}{textrm}

+When a \class{BabylMessage} instance is created based upon an
+\class{mboxMessage} or \class{MMDFMessage} instance, the \mailheader{Status}

+\end{tableii}
+
+\subsubsection{\class{MMDFMessage}}
+\label{mailbox-mmdfmessage}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{MMDFMessage}{\optional{message}}
+A message with MMDF-specific behaviors. Parameter \var{message} has the same
+meaning as with the \class{Message} constructor.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+As with message in an mbox mailbox, MMDF messages are stored with the sender's
+address and the delivery date in an initial line beginning with "From ".
+Likewise, flags that indicate the state of the message are typically stored in
+\mailheader{Status} and \mailheader{X-Status} headers.
+
+Conventional flags for MMDF messages are identical to those of mbox message and
+are as follows:
+
+\begin{tableiii}{l|l|l}{textrm}{Flag}{Meaning}{Explanation}
+\lineiii{R}{Read}{Read}
+\lineiii{O}{Old}{Previously detected by MUA}
+\lineiii{D}{Deleted}{Marked for subsequent deletion}
+\lineiii{F}{Flagged}{Marked as important}
+\lineiii{A}{Answered}{Replied to}
+\end{tableiii}
+
+The "R" and "O" flags are stored in the \mailheader{Status} header, and the
+"D", "F", and "A" flags are stored in the \mailheader{X-Status} header. The
+flags and headers typically appear in the order mentioned.
+
+\class{MMDFMessage} instances offer the following methods, which are identical
+to those offered by \class{mboxMessage}:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_from}{}
+Return a string representing the "From~" line that marks the start of the
+message in an mbox mailbox. The leading "From~" and the trailing newline are
+excluded.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_from}{from_\optional{, time_=None}}
+Set the "From~" line to \var{from_}, which should be specified without a
+leading "From~" or trailing newline. For convenience, \var{time_} may be
+specified and will be formatted appropriately and appended to \var{from_}. If
+\var{time_} is specified, it should be a \class{struct_time} instance, a tuple
+suitable for passing to \method{time.strftime()}, or \code{True} (to use
+\method{time.gmtime()}).
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{get_flags}{}
+Return a string specifying the flags that are currently set. If the message
+complies with the conventional format, the result is the concatenation in the
+following order of zero or one occurrence of each of \character{R},
+\character{O}, \character{D}, \character{F}, and \character{A}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{set_flags}{flags}
+Set the flags specified by \var{flags} and unset all others. Parameter
+\var{flags} should be the concatenation in any order of zero or more
+occurrences of each of \character{R}, \character{O}, \character{D},

+\end{methoddesc}
+
+When an \class{MMDFMessage} instance is created based upon a

+\subsection{Exceptions}
+\label{mailbox-deprecated}
+
+The following exception classes are defined in the \module{mailbox} module:
+
+\begin{classdesc}{Error}{}
+The based class for all other module-specific exceptions.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{NoSuchMailboxError}{}
+Raised when a mailbox is expected but is not found, such as when instantiating
+a \class{Mailbox} subclass with a path that does not exist (and with the
+\var{create} parameter set to \code{False}), or when opening a folder that does
+not exist.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{NotEmptyErrorError}{}
+Raised when a mailbox is not empty but is expected to be, such as when deleting
+a folder that contains messages.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{ExternalClashError}{}
+Raised when some mailbox-related condition beyond the control of the program
+causes it to be unable to proceed, such as when failing to acquire a lock that
+another program already holds a lock, or when a uniquely-generated file name
+already exists.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+\begin{classdesc}{FormatError}{}
+Raised when the data in a file cannot be parsed, such as when an \class{MH}
+instance attempts to read a corrupted \file{.mh_sequences} file.
+\end{classdesc}
+
+\subsection{Deprecated classes and methods}
+\label{mailbox-deprecated}
+
+Older versions of the \module{mailbox} module do not support modification of
+mailboxes, such as adding or removing message, and do not provide classes to
+represent format-specific message properties. For backward compatibility, the
+older mailbox classes are still available, but the newer classes should be used
+in preference to them.
+
+Older mailbox objects support only iteration and provide a single public
+method:
+
+\begin{methoddesc}{next}{}
+Return the next message in the mailbox, created with the optional \var{factory}
+argument passed into the mailbox object's constructor. By default this is an
+\class{rfc822.Message} object (see the \refmodule{rfc822} module).  Depending
+on the mailbox implementation the \var{fp} attribute of this object may be a
+true file object or a class instance simulating a file object, taking care of
+things like message boundaries if multiple mail messages are contained in a
+single file, etc.  If no more messages are available, this method returns
+\code{None}.
+\end{methoddesc}
+
+Most of the older mailbox classes have names that differ from the current
+mailbox class names, except for \class{Maildir}. For this reason, the new
+\class{Maildir} class defines a \method{next()} method and its constructor
+differs slightly from those of the other new mailbox classes.
+
+The older mailbox classes whose names are not the same as their newer
+counterparts are as follows:
