Best Python Library for Downloading and Extracting Addresses

Question

Hello

I've just been given a project which involves the following steps

1. Grab an email from a POP3 address
2. Open an attachment from the email
3. Extract the To: email address
4. Add this to a global suppression list

I'd like to try and do this in Python even though I could it in PHP in half the time (this is because I dont know anywhere near as much Python as PHP)

My question would be.

Can anyone recommend a Python library for interacting with email in the way described above?

Many thanks in advance

Answer 1

Two bits from the standard library: poplib to grab the email via POP3, email to slice and dice it as you wish.
