+package is a library for managing email messages,
including MIME and other RFC 2822-based message documents. Unlike
\module{smtplib} and \module{poplib} which actually send and receive
messages, the email package has a complete toolset for building or
decoding complex message structures (including attachments)
and for implementing internet encoding and header protocols.

the \module{csv} module supports direct reads and writes in a common
database format. Together, these modules and packages greatly simplify
data interchange between python applications and other tools.
