since python 2.7.2 
maildir.items() doesn't return anything:

>>> from mailbox import Maildir
>>> x = Maildir('test')
>>> x.items()
[]

untils something was written on the maildir.

>>> x.add('bubu')
'1319447613.M259111P6097Q1.deeppurple'
>>> x.items()
[('1319447013.M913187P6096Q1.deeppurple', <rfc822.Message instance at 0x7f25f5b612d8>), ('1319447613.M259111P6097Q1.deeppurple', <rfc822.Message instance at 0x7f25f5b61680>)]

i verified now, and the 2.7.1 version is ok, the bug is present since the 2.7.2

3.1 is ok
3.2.2 is affected

I'm assigning this to myself so I don't lose it, but if someone wants to work on a patch please do.  It'll be a bit before I can look at it.

Since this is a regression I'm upping the priority further to release blocker, so that we don't put out another release with the regression still in it.
msg146801 - (view) Author: Petri Lehtinen (petri.lehtinen) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-01 19:29
More specifically, this happens if the Maildir instance is created two seconds before items() is called:

>>> import time
>>> from mailbox import Maildir
>>> x = Maildir('test')  # has messages
>>> time.sleep(2.5)
>>> x.items()
[]

This happens because __init__() doesn't populate _toc, and mtimes haven't changed either, so _refresh() doesn't populate _toc either.
msg146803 - (view) Author: Petri Lehtinen (petri.lehtinen) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-01 20:04
Attached a patch. It makes _refresh() re-read the _toc uncoditionally when called the first time.
msg146809 - (view) Author: Florent Xicluna (flox) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-01 21:33
The patch by Petri looks good.
I've uploaded a variant which set the initial mtimes to epoch instead of creating a _toc_read attribute. The tests are not changed.
msg146810 - (view) Author: Florent Xicluna (flox) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-01 21:36
Re-uploaded, because we can set initialize _last_read to 0 instead of time.time(). It is more consistent.
msg146811 - (view) Author: Florent Xicluna (flox) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-01 21:44
Finally, the patch can be only 5 lines...
msg146825 - (view) Author: Petri Lehtinen (petri.lehtinen) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-02 06:09
The last patch looks good to me and is a clever approach indeed :)

This is a transient failure, other builds are successful.

Maybe the line "time.sleep(2.01 + self._box._skewfactor)" could be changed to "time.sleep(2.5 + self._box._skewfactor)" in test_mailbox.TestMaildir.test_reread.

Closing because it's not related to this issue.
msg147281 - (view) Author: Petri Lehtinen (petri.lehtinen) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-11-08 11:21
Even better would be to set skewfactor to something negative in this
test, too. I was told that long sleeps in tests are frowned upon.
