Instead of XXXXing around with Python scripts to reinvent the wheel,
just run mixmaster as a remailer. That's what everyone else does. I
simply have no comprehension on what on earth you expect to achieve by
hacking together a Python script to do what mixmaster does natively.
It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I know that a few years ago you were confused about mixmaster actually
being a remailer and thought it was just some sort of decryption
program, but I'd assumed that you'd learnt by now that mixmaster is
itself a remailer. You need no other software to run a remailer, just
the mixmaster program itself. All the other remailers just use
mixmaster. It does it all, remailing, type 1, type 2, email blocking,
everything.

Seriously, what on earth are you doing? It makes no sense.
