Re: ImportError when running the python demo

[Mark Doffman <mark doffman codethink co uk>]

Hi Loic,

The python bindings haven't been worked on in a while. The tinymail wiki 
page lists what still needs to be done for them to be considered complete.

http://www.tinymail.org/trac/tinymail/wiki/PythonBindings

The main reason that they are considered unfinished is that there has 
not yet been an effort to put together a complete mail client using 
them. Your project to put together a Tinymail based client in Python 
would be on the bleeding edge, with all that entails.

Saying that, I'd really like to see someone attempt this, and I'd be 
happy to help in any way possible.

I'm very busy this morning, so won't have time to look over the problem 
until later.

I'll get back to you soon,

Thanks

Mark
