Message 80972 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Thanks for following-up, Bill.

While I fully understand the need for unit-testing, I don't have the guts to start writing a dummy imap server from scratch.

I tested my changes on a couple of servers I manage, one running uw-imapd and the other running cyrus imapd; still, I don't think unit tests could rely on a "real" server. On the other hand, I don't think a python.org hosted test server would be a very wise choice: even if we found some dummy all-data-in-memory server, I fear the ssl/tls load on the server.
