Hm, my python version was not updated, and I'm pretty sure that I have been using
offlineimap-7.0.14 with python3, since this is my default python version (but python2.7
and python 3.4 are installed on this system). However changing offlineimap to python2.7 I
get other strange errors which were not there with 7.0.14.
