t.m.i.MessageSet(object) : class documentation

Part of twisted.mail.imap4 View Source View In Hierarchy

Essentially an infinite bitfield, with some extra features.
Instance Variable getnext A function that returns the next message number, used when iterating through the MessageSet. By default, a function returning the next integer is supplied, but as this can be rather inefficient for sparse UID iterations, it is recommended to supply one when messages are requested by UID. The argument is provided as a hint to the implementation and may be ignored if it makes sense to do so (eg, if an iterator is being used that maintains its own state, it is guaranteed that it will not be called out-of-order). (type: Function taking int returning int)
Method __init__ Create a new MessageSet()
