That’s really great to hear :) I am developing all milters on top of pymilter. I also had a closer look at ppymilter and pypymilter, but the pure python versions all have minor things, I don’t like. For example bringing all kinds of factories. I love the threaded version of pymilter :)

I am asking for Python3, because I realize that all kinds of modules are still not ported to 3.x and I wonder why, because many new modules are included in std lib in newer Python. For example IP address support will be part of 3.4 (I believe).

python-ldap, pycopg and mysqldb and all that stuff needs to be ported to Python3 and I try to ask, if people would like to port there great code to new versions of Python :) (maybe some of my examples might have been ported in the meantime; I don’t check this too much often).

I am also developing Python stuff (www.automx.org) and I am still very new to Python.

Kind regards
