If you want to contribute SASL auth for NNTP, it might make sense to
have a dedicated module to provide SASL mechanisms (and then let imaplib
reuse that module). Of course, not all mechanisms need to be provided at
the start.
(FWIW, I had written a patch providing generic SASL support for Twisted
years ago: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2015 ) |
