Check print email.__file__ /usr/lib/python2.5/email/__init__.pyc If the path is correct, you may want to look in the code, or if anything has changed in 2.6, I guess it is documented somewhere. JM
From: dirknbr on 24 May 2010 09:59 I have now easy_installled email and I still get errors. It doesn't error on 'import email' but does on call to MimeText. import email msg = MIMEText('test') NameError: name 'MIMEText' is not defined What should I do?

Can you show us the output ? To give you an example, on a lenny python 2.5 distrib, the MIMEText class is in /usr/lib/python2.5/email/mime/text.py JM |
