Package: offlineimap
Version: 6.2.0.2
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


offlineimap calls critical code paths only via assert.
If PYTHONOPTIMIZE is set, python will - besides other optimisations - ignore all assert statements.
In combination, this caused my entire "sent" folder to get lost as I tried to sync it with a courier-imap server (on which the folder had just been created).

I had reported a similar issue in 2008 (Bug #80: improper use of assert statement), though at that time it just duplicated mails instead of loosing them.

(Python) upstream considers assert a mere debugging tool. See e.g. "Language Reference" section 6.3, first paragraph:

> Assert statements are a convenient way to insert debugging assertions into a program:

The same section also explains that enabling optimization will cause assert statements not to be evaluated.

Thus this is definitely a bug in offlineimap. assert should not be used to invoke regular code paths.
