Python and DBMail

Hi All,

It has been a while for me to participate in my most
favorite project.
Ilja (IC&S) has conviced me that Python is actually
cool and  
provides a very
fast way of developing stable and easy readable code.
I'm a 'features' guy so a language like Python helps me to
add  
features fast.
In that perspective i've been working on glue between DBmail
and Python.
I've created a module for Python that directly interfaces
with the  
DBmail libraries.
Only a couple functions are implemented, but enough to add
some nice  
'quick' features
to DBMail.

The following link is a script i just wrote this afternoon
that adds  
a RSS interface
to dbmail folders. The link below is a RSS interface to my
dbmail  
folder (actually:
INBOX/development/dbmail) in which all dbmail mailinglist
messages  
are received.

der=INBOX/development/ 
dbmail

or, if you're interested, my weblog folder:

http://www.eelco.com/cgi-bin/dbmailrss.py?folder=IN
BOX/weblog

It's very beta, and might brake down completely. I'm also
working on  
a dbmail
filesystem interface and a python STMPserver that delivers
to DBMail.
A few user management functions are also available to if
anybody is  
willing to
create a nice and shiny GUI that talks XML-RPC we can built
a secure
DBMAIL management GUI.

My dbmail -> python interface needs some polishing (and a
lot of  
exceptions) before
i can put them online. I'll try to do some work on it the
coming month.

Cheers,

Eelco
