A backport of the newest Python 2.x email module to >= Python 2.3

Project description

5A5AThe email_backport package is a wrap-up of the email > 4.x module
found in Python 2.5 and above.

This is to create a simple way of creating email-related code that
works with existing Python code and interpreters (>= Python 2.3) as
there has been a lot of changes such as new naming standards, see
here:

http://docs.python.org/library/email

To use in your code, try something like:

EMAIL_4 = False
import sys
try:
from email import message
EMAIL_4 = True
except ImportError:
sys._IMPORTING_EMAIL_BACKPORT = True
try:
import email_backport as email
sys.modules['email'] = email
EMAIL_4 = True
except ImportError:
EMAIL_4 = False

If EMAIL_4 is true, we're good to go, if not, one can disable mail
features of the application.

The versioning of email_backport follows Python's email module
internal version.
