As I mentioned in issue25008, removing smtpd would be a hardship for myself,
and I don't think I'm alone. I would however love to have (and maybe even
work on <wink>) an asyncio-based version. I do think it is useful to have an
SMTP server in the stdlib - and actually, I'd also like to have an LMTP server
there too. But I think we can take baby steps toward this by some folks
getting together and writing a third party asyncio-based module, releasing
this on PyPI and eventually leading to its inclusion in Python down the road.
I think there's no hurry to remove smtpd, but it can be deprecated-in-place
like optparse, as someone else mentioned. |
