I have approval to spend some official time at this sprint, though  
I'll be working from home and will be on IRC, Skype, etc.

I've been spending hours of my own time on the email package for py3k  
this week and every time I think I'm nearing success I get defeated  
again.  I think Victor Stinner came to similar conclusions.  To put  
it mildly, the email package is effed up!  But I'm determined to  
solve the worst of the problems this week.

I only have Wednesday and Thursday to work on this, with most of my  
time available on Thursday.  I'd really like to find one or two other  
folks to connect with to help work out the stickiest issues.  Please  
contact me directly or on this list to arrange a time with me.  I'm  
UTC-4 if that helps.  I'll be on #python-dev (barry) too.

Remember that the current code is in the python sandbox (under  
emailpkg/5_0-exp).  I have some uncommitted code which I'll try to  
check in tonight, though I don't know if it will make matters better  
or worse. ;)

Cheers,
- -Barry

I'm ankle deep in the Big Muddy (daughter tested positive for TB as
expected -- the Japanese innoculate all children against it because of
the sins of their fathers -- and school starts on Tuesday, so we need
to make a bunch of extra trips to doctors and whatnot), so what thin
hope I had of hanging out with the big boys at the Python-3000 sprint
long since evaporated.

However, starting next week I should have a day a week or so I can
devote to email stuff -- if you want to send any thoughts or
requisitions my way (or an URL to sprint IRC transcripts), I'd love to
help.  Of course you'll get it all done and leave none for me, right?

Bu-wha-ha-ha!

Steve

Stephen, sorry to hear about your daughter and I hope she's going to  
be okay of course!

Unfortunately, we didn't really sprint much on it, but I did get a  
chance to spend time on the branch.  I think I see the light at the  
end of the tunnel for getting the existing tests to pass, though I  
haven't even looked at test_email_codecs.py yet.  Because of the way  
things are going to work with in put and output codecs, I'll  
definitely want to get some sanity checks with Asian codecs.  I'll  
try to put together a list of issues and questions and get those sent  
out next week.

Heh, well I'm getting closer.  We're definitely going to have some  
API changes, so I'll outline those as well.

Oh, she's *fine*.  There's just a conflict between the Japanese
practice of vaccinating all school children against TB, and the
U.S. practice of testing for TB antibodies.  About 1 in 3 kids coming
from Japan to U.S. schools get snagged.  Annoying, but I'll trade this
for the problems with visas and the like that colleagues have had
*any* day.

OK, *that* I can help with!
