Default Re: PBEM scripts

update, CLI version of my script is nearly done. It is tested and confirmed to work on cygwin (and for that matter, Linux, Solaris etc).

I need to finish up some last touches of functionality and testing, then I can either post the script here, or do another round of improvements before posting, including:
1.Test functionality on windows systems.
2. Release the script as an exe, so that python installation and libgmail installation aren't needed.

Last phase of improvements is to add a GUI. but I'll do that after releasing the CLI.

The script works only if the host has a gmail account, please be aware of that. Of course if there's sufficient demand it's possible to add support for yahoo accounts as well (I get lazy at times )...

The script can do the following:
1. Retrieve turns files from gmail (regexp subject)
2. Verify that the turns are valid and report invalid ones.
3. Backup (on request and prior to hosting)
4. Broadcast messages to players.
5. Send status notifications that include invalid/missing turns reports to players.
6. Host
7. Distribute turn files to players.

EDIT, most probably it will also work for dom-III (if not, I'll update it so that it will).
