python3-aiosmtpd - An asyncio based SMTP server
|
|
|
|
The Python standard library includes a basic SMTP server in the smtpd
|
|
module, based on the old asynchronous libraries asyncore and asynchat.
|
|
These modules are quite old and are definitely showing their age;
|
|
asyncore and asynchat are difficult APIs to work with, understand,
|
|
extend, and fix.
|
|
|
|
With the introduction of the asyncio module in Python 3.4, a much
|
|
better way of doing asynchronous I/O is now available.
|
|
It seems obvious that an asyncio-based version of the SMTP and related
|
|
protocols are needed for Python 3.
|
|
This project brings together several highly experienced Python
|
|
developers collaborating on this reimplementation.
|
|
|
|
This package provides such an implementation of both the SMTP and LMTP
|
|
protocols.
