mailbox.py uses old (and presumably deprecated) names for stuff in the email package. This can confuse application packagers such as py2app. I believe the complete list of desirable changes is:

email.Generator -> email.generator
email.Message -> email.message
email.message_from_string -> email.parser.message_from_string
email.message_from_file -> email.parser.message_from_file

I submitted patches for urllib, urllib2 and smptlib but wasn't sure enough of mailbox to do that. Those four modules are the only instances I found that needed changing at the main level of the library.

However, I did not do a recursive search. There may be files inside packages that could also use cleanup.

Barry, are the suggested name changes for the email module correct?  If yes, please assign this bug back to me and I'll make the changes to the mailbox module.

FWIW, the last two are incorrect.

I already fixed that while doing the other three patches. There shouldn't be any occurences of old style package name imports left.
