[issue11245] Implementation of IMAP IDLE in imaplib?

[Gereon Kremer]

Gereon Kremer added the comment:

I got the confirmation for my agreement.

I'm not quite sure about the tests, as I'm not really familiar with the way this is done in cpython. The test_imaplib.py seems to cover all ways to connect to some server, but none of the actual imap commands. The patch only implements another commands (whose behaviour is highly/only dependent of other events on the server).

Hence, I don't see a way to create a meaningfull test case other than just calling the command...
