twisted.mail.imap4.MessageSet : API documentation

Instance Variable	getnext	A function that returns the next message number, used when iterating through the MessageSet. By default, a function returning the next integer is supplied, but as this can be rather inefficient for sparse UID iterations, it is recommended to supply one when messages are requested by UID. The argument is provided as a hint to the implementation and may be ignored if it makes sense to do so (eg, if an iterator is being used that maintains its own state, it is guaranteed that it will not be called out-of-order). (type: Function taking `int` returning `int`)
Method	__init__	Create a new MessageSet()
Method	last	Undocumented
Method	add	Add another range
Method	__add__	Undocumented
Method	extend	Undocumented
Method	clean	Clean ranges list, combining adjacent ranges
Method	__contains__	May raise TypeError if we encounter an open-ended range
Method	__iter__	Undocumented
Method	__len__	Undocumented
Method	__str__	Undocumented
Method	__repr__	Undocumented
Method	__eq__	Undocumented
Method	_iterator	Undocumented
