smtplib.SMTP "no attributes SMTP"

[Copelandia Cyanescens]

Python Python 2.3.4, Windows, "clean" install, using the example code
given in the documentation, I get this...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\projects\email\email.py", line 24, in ?
server = smtplib.SMTP('mail.xxxxx.xxx')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SMTP'

I beg to differ, it most certainly does. Right? :)

TIA

Have you created a file smtplib.py somewhere in your python path?
Perhaps you named as such the file with the example code from the
documentation?

Yes, the std lib smtlib.py does have an SMTP class.

No, I saved the code as email.py... BUT... you hit the nail on the head
with the file name suggestion. The error disappears if I rename to
something like abcdef.py. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that smtplib
references a module called email.py, huh? <grin>

Thanks! I knew it had to be something obvious and easy. :)
