| +PYTHONFILE CONFIGURATION FILE OPTION |
| +You can have OfflineIMAP load up a Python file before +evaluating the configuration file options that are Python +expressions. This example is based on one supplied by Tommi +Virtanen for this feature. |
| +In ~/.offlineimap.rc, he adds these +options: |
|
+[general] +pythonfile=~/.offlineimap.py +[foo] +foldersort=mycmp |
| +Then, the ~/.offlineimap.py file will +contain: |
| +prioritized = ['INBOX', 'personal', 'announce', +'list'] |
|
+def mycmp(x, y): +for prefix in prioritized: +if x.startswith(prefix): +return -1 +elif y.startswith(prefix): +return +1 +return cmp(x, y) |
|
+def test_mycmp(): +import os, os.path + +folders=os.listdir(os.path.expanduser('~/data/mail/tv@hq.yok.utu.fi')) +folders.sort(mycmp) +print folders |
| +This code snippet illustrates how the foldersort +option can be customized with a Python function from the +pythonfile to always synchronize certain folders +first. |
