The email package SIG
The email package is a large, complicated package that comes with Python, and which supports parsing, manipulating and generating email messages in RFC compliant formats. Its development is ongoing. Current focus is on version 6.0, with a target release in Python 3.2 (back ported to Python 2.7), and with standalone packages available to older versions of Python.
The information and pages below are used to record decisions and status related to the email package's development. Discussions should be conducted on the Email SIG mailing list (archive).
