Added a socket timeout parameter
Hi everyone,
this mergerequest adds a timeout parameter to the MANAGESIEVE
class. It allows the user to specify a network timeout, which is applied to the python-socket using socket.settimeout
.
Unfortunately it is then no longer possible to open the socket as a file and perform communication through that file, because settimeout
puts the socket in non-blocking mode. The timeout is then implemented in recv
(this is documented in https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket-timeouts). Therefore I had to change the line-splitting logic for unencrypted connections.
It would be great if you could have a look at my proposed changes and maybe consider merging them. Any ideas/change requests/questions/... welcome
