IMAP4.noop() Send NOOP to server.

binascii.b2a_base64(data) Convert binary data to a line of ASCII characters in base64 coding. The return value is the converted line, including a newline char. The newline is added because the original use case for this function was to feed it a series of 57 byte input lines to get output lines that conform to the MIME-base64 standard. Otherwise the output conforms to RFC 3548.

st_mode File mode: file type and file mode bits (permissions).

MimeTypes.guess_all_extensions(type, strict=True) Similar to the guess_all_extensions() function, using the tables stored as part of the object.

exception nntplib.NNTPDataError Exception raised when there is some error in the response data.

class argparse.Action(option_strings, dest, nargs=None, const=None, default=None, type=None, choices=None, required=False, help=None, metavar=None)

base64.b85decode(b) Decode the base85-encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string b and return the decoded bytes. Padding is implicitly removed, if necessary. New in version 3.4.

uuid.uuid1(node=None, clock_seq=None) Generate a UUID from a host ID, sequence number, and the current time. If node is not given, getnode() is used to obtain the hardware address. If clock_seq is given, it is used as the sequence number; otherwise a random 14-bit sequence number is chosen.

NNTP.group(name) Send a GROUP command, where name is the group name. The group is selected as the current group, if it exists. Return a tuple (response, count, first, last, name) where count is the (estimated) number of articles in the group, first is the first article number in the group, last is the last article number in the group, and name is the group name.
