sievelib 0.1

What is supported

Currently, the provided parser only supports the functionalities described in the RFC.(ie. there isn’t any extensions supported). The only exception concerns section 2.4.2.4. Encoding Characters Using “encoded-character” which is not supported.

Basic usage

The parser can either be used from the command-line:

$ cd sievelib
$ python parser.py test.sieve
Syntax OK
$

Or can be used from a python environment (or script/module):

>>> from sievelib.parser import Parser
>>> p = Parser()
>>> p.parse('require ["fileinto"];')
True
>>> p.dump()
require (type: control)
    ["fileinto"]
>>>
>>> p.parse('require ["fileinto"]')
False
>>> p.error
'line 1: parsing error: end of script reached while semicolon expected'
>>>

Additionnal documentation is available with source code.

What is supported

All mandatory commands are supported. The RENAME extension is supported, with a simulated behaviour for server that do not support it.

For the AUTHENTICATE command, supported mechanisms are DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN and LOGIN.

Basic usage

The ManageSieve client is intended to be used from another python application (there isn’t any shell provided):

>>> from sievelib.managesieve import Client
>>> c = Client("server.example.com")
>>> c.connect("user", "password", starttls=False, authmech="DIGEST-MD5")
True
>>> c.listscripts()
("active_script", ["script1", "script2"])
>>> c.setactive("script1")
True
>>> c.havespace("script3", 45)
True
>>>
