# An NNTP client class. Based on RFC 977: Network News Transfer
# Protocol, by Brian Kantor and Phil Lapsley.
# Example:
#
# >>> from nntplib import NNTP
# >>> s = NNTP('news')
# >>> resp, count, first, last, name = s.group('comp.lang.python')
# >>> print 'Group', name, 'has', count, 'articles, range', first, 'to', last
# Group comp.lang.python has 51 articles, range 5770 to 5821
# >>> resp, subs = s.xhdr('subject', first + '-' + last)
# >>> resp = s.quit()
# >>>
#
# Here 'resp' is the server response line.
# Error responses are turned into exceptions.
#
# To post an article from a file:
# >>> f = open(filename, 'r') # file containing article, including header
# >>> resp = s.post(f)
# >>>
#
# For descriptions of all methods, read the comments in the code below.
# Note that all arguments and return values representing article numbers
# are strings, not numbers, since they are rarely used for calculations.
