[Zope-dev] zope.sendmail grantma-retryfixes branch review

I'm starting a new thread, because the original one got hijacked by the
doctest/unittest flamefest.
I appear to have unsubscribed from zope3-checkins a while ago, which is
why I'm posting here.
Disclaimer: I'm not very good at doing code reviews. I tend to mention
every little detail that could've been improved and forget to praise
everything that's already perfect.
There are two checkins on the branch.

http://svn.zope.org/zope.sendmail/branches/grantma-retryfixes/?rev=84645&view=rev
Matthew, Subversion thinks the two PDF files you added are plain-text
(svn:eol-style is "native", and svn diff shows the actual contents of
the PDFs, which isn't very useful to human readers). I would suggest
svn propdel svn:eol-style *.pdf
svn propset svn:mime-type application/pdf *.pdf
Also, the Quue_*.pdf seems to have a typo in the file name.
At first sight those diagrams look scary and complicated. I'd look into
ways to express their content in a text file with plain-text
explanations and ASCII-art diagrams.

You're using integer division here and losing sub-second precision. If you

I don't think DoesNotImplement is right here -- there are no interfaces
you're looking for. Better use the built-in TypeError.
But is the type check necessary at all? The Pythonic thing is to rely on duck
typing.

Just use

and logging.DEBUG/logging.INFO/logging.ERROR/logging.WARNING as the
values for log_level.

The standard docstring convention is to do this:
"""Process results of an SMTP error.
Returns True to indicate break needed.
"""
One sentence on the first line, then an empty line, then additional
paragraphs after that. The closing """ on a separate line. All
sentences terminated by periods.

Typo: "Mailer*i*TemporaryFailure". Also an indication that this code
branch is not tested, otherwise the typo would've been caught.

Please extract this bit into a separate function. The send method is
already way too long and complicated.
Once it's extracted an tested with an isolated test, you can refactor
it to something like
freq = collections.defaultdict(int)
for smtp_code, smtp_error in e.recipients.values():
freq[smtp_code, smtp_error] += 1
smtp_code, smtp_error = max(freq, key=freq.get)
Oh, wait, that only works on Python 2.5. Scratch the refactoring.

If an exception happens in this bit above:

then send_errors will be undefined and you'll get a NameError.
Currently this is mostly not a problem, because almost all except
clauses for that try re-raise a different exception (either directly, or
via _handle_smtp_error).
I suggest adding
send_errors = None
above the try:, just in case.

Suggest rewriting as
sentaddrs = [x for x in toaddrs
if x not in send_errors]
for address, (smtp_code, smtp_error) in send_errors.items():
self._log('warning',
SMTP_ERR_LOG_MSG,
message_id,
str(smtp_code),
smtp_error,
fromaddr,
address)
(Also note that you don't have to explicitly call str() on all ints you
pass to a message; '%s' % 42 works perfectly fine.)

That's a bit of an overkill. If you change the _exception_args default
value to () above, it would be perfectly fine to replace this lats bit
with
if self._exception:
raise self._exception(*self._exception_args)
It's the job of the Python interpreter to check the suitability of
_exception and _exception_args for the raise statement, you don't have
to do everything by hand.

Why not

instead?

Well, no, your exception classes are named
MailerTemporaryFailureException and MailerPermanentFailureException.
(I'd prefer the shorter names, personally. Maybe MailerTemporaryError
and MailerPermanentError, because FooError is the common naming
convention for exceptions.)

The naming clash with the Message-ID header (which has got *absolutely
nothing* to do with this message_id argument) is unfortunate. I think
this should be clarified in the docstring. No, I think someone should
go through the source code and replace message_id with queue_id
everywhere where it refers to the os.path.basename(file_in_queue) and
not to the Message-ID header.

Overall I like the new features *a lot*. The stylistic issues are
mostly minor. The most important of those are
* Fix the integer division bug (easy, but a unit test would be good).
* Resolve the exception name confusion (easy).
* Clearly distinguish queue IDs from RFC-2822 message IDs (should be easy).
And I have a questions:
* What's up with retry_interval? _queueRetryWait doesn't do anything
in the inner loop, after sleeping for retry_interval seconds -- it
just checks self.__stopped. I suppose this makes Zope 3 shutdown
(or restart) faster, but the name seems to be wrong -- there are no
actual retries made after retry_interval seconds.
Thank you very much for diving into the murky depths and improving
zope.sendmail!
