* #14731: refactor email policy framework.R David Murray2012-05-251-0/+216
This patch primarily does two things: (1) it adds some internal-interface methods to Policy that allow for Policy to control the parsing and folding of headers in such a way that we can construct a backward compatibility policy that is 100% compatible with the 3.2 API, while allowing a new policy to implement the email6 API. (2) it adds that backward compatibility policy and refactors the test suite so that the only differences between the 3.2 test_email.py file and the 3.3 test_email.py file is some small changes in test framework and the addition of tests for bugs fixed that apply to the 3.2 API. There are some additional teaks, such as moving just the code needed for the compatibility policy into _policybase, so that the library code can import only _policybase. That way the new code that will be added for email6 will only get imported when a non-compatibility policy is imported.
