iequidoo f61d5af468 feat: Delete vg-request-with-auth from IMAP after processing (#6208)
In multi-device case `vg-request-with-auth` left on IMAP may result in situation when Bob joins the
group, then leaves it, then second Alice device comes online and processes `vg-request-with-auth`
again and adds Bob back. So we should IMAP-delete `vg-request-with-auth`. Another device will know
the Bob's key from Autocrypt-Gossip. It's not a problem if Alice loses state (restores from an old
backup) or goes offline for long before sending `vg-member-added`, anyway it may not be delivered by
the server, rather Bob should retry sending SecureJoin messages as he is a part which wants to join,
so let's not solve this for now.

Delta Chat RPC python client

RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server and provides asynchronous interface to it.

Getting started

To use Delta Chat RPC client, first build a deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server or download a prebuilt release. Install it anywhere in your PATH.

Create a virtual environment if you don't have one already and activate it.

$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate

Install deltachat-rpc-client from source:

$ cd deltachat-rpc-client
$ pip install .

Testing

  1. Build deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server.
  2. Install tox pip install -U tox
  3. Run CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.

Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.

Using in REPL

Setup a development environment:

$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ python
>>> from deltachat_rpc_client import *
>>> rpc = Rpc()
>>> rpc.start()
>>> dc = DeltaChat(rpc)
>>> system_info = dc.get_system_info()
>>> system_info["level"]
'awesome'
>>> rpc.close()
