12.11.2 AddressList Objects
An AddressList instance has the following methods:
- __len__()
- Return the number of addresses in the address list.
- __str__()
- Return a canonicalized string representation of the address list. Addresses are rendered in "name" <host@domain> form, comma-separated.
- __add__(alist)
- Return a new AddressList instance that contains all addresses in both AddressList operands, with duplicates removed (set union).
- __iadd__(alist)
- In-place version of __add__(); turns this AddressList instance into the union of itself and the right-hand instance, alist.
- __sub__(alist)
- Return a new AddressList instance that contains every address in the left-hand AddressList operand that is not present in the right-hand address operand (set difference).
- __isub__(alist)
- In-place version of __sub__(), removing addresses in this list which are also in alist.
Finally, AddressList instances have one public instance variable:
- addresslist
- A list of tuple string pairs, one per address. In each member, the first is the canonicalized name part, the second is the actual route-address ("@"-separated username-host.domain pair).
