cpython/Lib/nntplib.py
Guido van Rossum 18fc5696c8 * mainloop.py: added facility for calling select(). Also added
embryonic facility for pseudo-modal dialogs.
* stdwinevents.py: added modifier masks for key/mouse events
* renamed exceptions in nntplib.py
* Changed string.join() to call string.joinfields() to profit of
  strop.joinfields()

# An NNTP client class. Based on RFC 977: Network News Transfer
# Protocol, by Brian Kantor and Phil Lapsley.
# Example:
#
# >>> from nntplib import NNTP
# >>> s = NNTP().init('charon')
# >>> resp, count, first, last, name = s.group('nlnet.misc')
# >>> print 'Group', name, 'has', count, 'articles, range', first, 'to', last
# Group nlnet.misc has 525 articles, range 6960 to 7485
# >>> resp, subs = s.xhdr('subject', first + '-' + last)
# >>> resp = s.quit()
# >>>
#
# Here 'resp' is the server response line.
# Error responses are turned into exceptions.
#
# To post an article from a file:
# >>> f = open(filename, 'r') # file containing article, including header
# >>> resp = s.post(f)
# >>>
#
# For descriptions of all methods, read the comments in the code below.
# Note that all arguments and return values representing article numbers
# are strings, not numbers, since they are rarely used for calculations.
