<p>POP3 has no concept of 'folders'. If gmail is showing you both 'sent' as well as 'received' mail, then you really don't have any option but to receive all that email.</p> <p>Perhaps you would be better off using IMAP4 instead of POP3. Python has libraries that will work with gmail's IMAP4 server.</p>

<p>This Java code would suggest that you can select a particular "folder" to download, even when using POP3.

<p>I assume you have enabled POP3/IMAP access to your GMail account.</p> <p>This is sample code:</p> <pre><code>import imaplib conn= imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.googlemail.com') conn.login('yourusername', 'yourpassword') code, dummy= conn.select('INBOX') if code != 'OK': raise RuntimeError, "Failed to select inbox" ...

Best practice for integrating CherryPy web-framework, SQLAlchemy sessions and lighttpd to serve a high-load webservice

<p>I'm developing a CherryPy FastCGI server behind lighttpd with the following setup to enable using ORM SQLAlchemy sessions inside CherryPy controllers.

Dump memcache keys from GAE SDK Console?

<p>In the "Memcache Viewer", is there any way to dump a list of existing keys? Just for debugging, of course, not for use in any scripts!</p> <p>I ask because it doesn't seem like the GAE SDK is using a "real" memcache server, so I'm guessing it's emulated in Python (for simplicity, as it's just a development server)....

<p>No. I did not found such functionality in memcached too.</p> <p>Thinking about this issue, I found this limitation understandable - it would require keeping a registry of keys with all related problems like key expiration, invalidation and of course locking. Such system would not be as fast as memcaches are intende...

<p>Memcache is designed to be quick and there's no convincing use case for this functionality which would justify the overhead required for a command that is so at odds with the rest of memcached.</p> <p>The GAE SDK is simulating memcached, so it doesn't offer this functionality either.</p>

<p>The easiest way that I could think of, would be to maintain a memcache key at a known ID, and then append to it every time you insert a new key. This way you could just query for the single key to get a list of existing keys.</p>

<p>Here is a possible work around.
