[Bug 339932] Re: python 2.6 transition breaks Ctrl-C to abort offlineimap

[Jon Bernard]

After trying my patch in a clean jaunty chroot, it appears I haven't
fixed the Ctrl-C issue. There are quite a few differences between my dev
installation and Curses.py vs. what's currently in Jaunty. I've been
exchanging emails with Jim Pryor, who had contributed several patches to
the project, and we're throwing around some ideas and trying to get to
the bottom of it. It appears to be a problem only in the Curses UI, the
others are fine.

There has been some discussion about intended behaviour, after looking
at the code, it would seem the proper way to shutdown the curses
interface is to press the 'q' key. This works in Jaunty, but Curses.py
leave the console in a pretty broken state that requires you to type
"reset" in order to fix it -- this appears to be a completely seperate
issue.

With regards to the two deprecation warnings, the md5 warning was fixed
in git on Dec. 24 (commit c58860). I think it would be a good idea to
sync the current jaunty package with what is in git.

The ssl patch has not yet been applied upstream
(http://software.complete.org/software/issues/show/110) but it might be
good to include it in the jaunty package until that happens.

One more note, the Ctrl-C ticket on complete.org was filed against
"site.complete.org" instead of "offlineimap", so it may not be on John's
radar yet. I haven't had time to update that but I will this evening if
you don't get to it first.

I haven't given up on the Ctrl-C/Broken console issue yet though, I'll
keep you posted. Sorry for the verbosity ;)
