From dc3ad723c9b60eb766bf6c9af93f5818d72be9f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Spaeth Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 16:24:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Give some love to UIDMaps - Some documentation improvements, this is a severely underdocumented class. This still needs some further improvements though. - Don't use apply(Baseclass) (which is going away in Python 3), use IMAPFolder.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs). - Don't call ValueError, string. It is ValueError(string) Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth Signed-off-by: Nicolas Sebrecht --- offlineimap/folder/Base.py | 19 ++++++++++--------- offlineimap/folder/UIDMaps.py | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/offlineimap/folder/Base.py b/offlineimap/folder/Base.py index 4bc5aab..a545783 100644 --- a/offlineimap/folder/Base.py +++ b/offlineimap/folder/Base.py @@ -158,20 +158,21 @@ class BaseFolder: def savemessage(self, uid, content, flags, rtime): """Writes a new message, with the specified uid. - If the uid is < 0, the backend should assign a new uid and return it. - If the backend cannot assign a new uid, it returns the uid passed in - WITHOUT saving the message. + If the uid is < 0: The backend should assign a new uid and + return it.
