Have done this. Comparing the version linked from this page ( 0.3x ) to
the .4 version (csv.py) on:
The name csv.py conflicts with the Comma Separated File module present in
Python 2.3 and upwards. This means that a program can't use both modules
unless it artificially places your csv.py in a package directory so that
it doesn't exist on the 'primary' module path:
import csv
When csv.py is in the current working directory, or the package directory
for the currently executing module, it will always shadow the stdlib's csv.py.
The only way I can see around this is renaming, or creating a dummy
package (and dummy __init__.py), and placing csv.py within that. eg:
import dummy.csv as csv
Might I suggest you create a package called "CLEAR" or "clear", and
distribute csv.py as part of that? It would then natural for a BATV
implementation to live inside that as batv.py. eg:
from clear import csv, batv
from clear.csv import *
I've created two packages, one for Linux, one for Windows, which should
avoid the name conflicts.
http://purl.net/macquigg/email/python email_auth(.tgz, .zip) These
packages contain two modules (csv.py and spf.py). I think 'email_auth'
might be a more neutral name than 'clear' (unless CLEAR wants to broaden
its mission).
Unzip (or un-tar) the appropriate package, copy the email_auth directory to
a directory on your Python sys.path, and you should be able to use these
modules with statements like:
# Authentication methods available at this site:
from email_auth import spf
# SPF1 from sourceforge.net/projects/pymilter - milter-0.8.2
from email_auth import csv # based on spec from mipassoc.org/csv
##import sid # SenderID from Microsoft
# Methods that require transfer of DATA:
##import dkim # from Yahoo/Cisco
Having avoided name conflicts with other modules, we can now call the csa
function from the csv module like this:
result, SMTP_reply = csv.csa(IP, HELO)
The checkID() module has not yet been added to the package, as it needs a
little more testing.
