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).
