got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_context'

[boussouira]

Please note that:
ssl_context = pythonssllib.create_default_context()
is new in python version 2.7.9.

after installing 2.7.11, i get this error:

>>> imbox = Imbox('imap.gmail.com', username='...@gmail.com', password='...')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/naruto/Programming/imap_test/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imbox/__init__.py", line 15, in __init__
    ssl_context=None)
  File "/home/naruto/Programming/imap_test/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imbox/imap.py", line 28, in __init__
    self.server = self.transport(self.hostname, self.port, **kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_context'

looks like ssl_context argument is not supported in 2.7

How do you resolve this issue? When I turn-off ssl completely the package just freezes

[boussouira]

I didn't resolve it, probably I'll use an other library.

I didn't resolve it, probably I'll use an other library.

Or do the step forward to Python 3.

if you dont need ssl_context just disable the 20,21,22 lines from imbox/imap.py

[sebix]

Python 2.7 does not allow specifying ssl_context, thus no certificates can be validated. I want to encourage you to not disable this and use Python 3 only. I consider Python 2.7 a security risk.

What about this line here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html#ssl.create_default_context

[sebix]

@martinrusev The point is, that there's no ssl_context parameter for imaplib.IMAP4_SSL

[bhtucker]

This is a definite issue — the project should probably just come out and say it doesn't support Python 2.7.

Done: https://github.com/martinrusev/imbox/blob/master/README.md#requirements

Also change it in setup.py: https://github.com/martinrusev/imbox/blob/master/setup.py#L26
