~/.netrc & multiple accounts with same <at> domain

offlineimap is unable to get password from ~/.netrc when it contains
more than one entry for `machine'

  machine imap.gmail.com login foo password blah
  machine imap.gmail.com login bar password blah

where the last one wins, i.e. `bar'. It'll ask password for `foo'
account when running in TTY.TTYUI.

OTOH, msmtp which I use to send mails picks the right password without issues.

$ offlineimap --version
6.3.2

I'm really interested in a nice fix for this problem too. My current
workaround is to use two domain names which point to the same server
(at ovh.net), but that's a bit annoying.

Here is another workaround using remotepasseval.

  [general]
  pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py

  [Repository foo|remote]
  type = Gmail
  remoteuser = foo
  remotepasseval = getnetrc(machine='imap.gmail.com', login='foo')['password']

-- crapcode begins --
import os

def getnetrc(authinfo=None, **match):
    '''A dumb filter for ~/.netrc. It understands oneline entries,
    comments and default entry. No macros or multiline entries.

We are simply using the netrc library that python provides:

http://docs.python.org/library/netrc.html

Care to file a bug against them at bugs.python.org?

Actually looking at the netrc library doc in python, it should be
possible to tickle out different user names against the same host
name. I might have a look at it soon.
