Python3 Version ?

[dryslope]

Hello, do you plan to do a python3 version ?

I've seen that the lib asyncore is deprecated and asyncio should be used, but I can't find a way to change that as the lib is quite different.

Thanks in advance,
D.

Hi, thank you for the interest in the project.
That's a good question. I use the software mostly on Docker containers, so I never thought about porting it to Python 3.
Anyways, I am more that happy to merge patches to make the package compatible with 3.x, as long as they use only modules from Python standard library. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to work on this right now, but may work on it in the future.

I see, my objective is to use it to test a python function in a docker container in gitlab CI, so I can't docker in docker. That would be really useful, thanks!

You don't need to do Docker on Docker for that. Your use case is very similar to what I do. You can spawn a mock-smtp container in your job services entry, assign a fixed alias hostname to it, and have your apps use the hostname as they would with any other SMTP server. More info here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/services/

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know this can be done. However, I tried to make it work with a service in my job, and the problem is that you can't mount volumes, so the .eml file is created inside the smtp_server container, but I can't access it in the job. Maybe I'm missing something ?
