Message226197
If a mailbox.MH() object is created by pointing at a path that exists but doesn't contain a ".mh_sequences" file, it raises an exception upon iteration over .{iter,}items() rather than gracefully assuming that the file is empty. I encountered this by pointing it at a Claws Mail IMAP-cache folder (which claims to store its messages in MH format¹ but it doesn't place a .mh_sequences file in those folders) only to have it raise an exception.
To replicate:
$ mkdir empty
$ python
>>> import mailbox
>>> for msg in mailbox.MH('empty').values(): pass
I suspect this could simply wrap the "f = open(os.path.join(self._path, '.mh_sequences'), 'r')" and following lines in a check to ignore the file if it doesn't exist (returning the empty "results").
