Many thanks! Two more questions:

  1. Is there any plan to backport this Python >= 3.3 feature to
     Python 2?

  2. Would the following lines be correct for Python 3.3?

     >>> import imaplib
     >>> IMAP4_SSL("192.168.1.1.", ssl_context =  
SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3))

Cheers

No, development of Python 2 ceased to exist (only important bugfixes or 
security fix will happen, IIRC)

If you need advanced use of SSL, use pyOpenSSL (it has been ported to 
Python 3 already, so you won't loose any compatibility).
