Re: email libraries in python?

thanks, I'll try that out. I was looking from the sample scripts on the python 
homepage, and wanted to start working with email.

  Very strange I tried it and it worked fine on my cygwin python and on my 
linux one.  One thing you can try to see if you have the package correct in 
your distribution is when in the interpreter do something like this.

   

  Import email.mime

   

  If that works try 

   

  Import email.mime.text

   

  If that does not work then try

   

  Dir (email.mime)

   

  See what it tells you.  I am betting your missing a package but until you 
check with Dir you won't know.  Note you need to do the import email.mime first 
before you can do dir(email.mime)

  Hello list,

  I was trying to make a mail sender of sorts in python, and have a question.

  #!/usr/bin/python2.5
  import sys
  import atexit
  import smtplib
  from email.mime.text import MIMEText

  the compiler errors: I'm using 2.5, and it says email v4 was distributed with 
2.5... here's the error

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./email.py", line 4, in <module>
      import smtplib
    File "/usr/lib/python2.5/smtplib.py", line 46, in <module>
      import email.Utils
    File "/home/tyler/email.py", line 5, in <module>
      from email.mime.text import MIMEText
  ImportError: No module named mime.text
  tyler@tds:~$
