python import problem (different versions of python)?

[gatoruss]

Newbie here with a (hopefully not) dumb question....tried searching around on the 'Net without success, so here goes....

I have been playing around with python. I wrote a script that sends an smtp email. Here is the link that I found explaining how such a script could be written Sending an Email

As you see it imports a module as follows: "import smtplib".

I am using a linux machine (ubuntu ditro). It has both python2.5 and python2.4 installed. I also have wxpython installed.

Here is the script:

#! /usr/bin/env python
 
def Email_func (Mess):
 
    import smtplib
 
    HeaderFile = '/home/***.***'
    Header = open(HeaderFile, 'r')
    MyAddress = Header.readline()
    OppAddress = Header.readline()
    Subject = Header.readline()
    EmailFull = ''.join([MyAddress, OppAddress, Subject, Mess])
 
    # smtp sever settings
 
    smtpserver = 'mydomain.com'
    AUTHREQUIRED = 1 # if you need to use SMTP AUTH set to 1
    smtpuser = '[e-mail]'  # for SMTP AUTH, set SMTP username here
    smtppass = '****'  # for SMTP AUTH, set SMTP password here
 
    # creating email address settings
 
    RECIPIENTS = [OppAddress, MyAddress]
    SENDER = MyAddress
 
    # sending email
 
    session = smtplib.SMTP(smtpserver)
    if AUTHREQUIRED:
        session.login(smtpuser, smtppass)
        print "Email successfully sent!"
    smtpresult = session.sendmail(SENDER, RECIPIENTS, EmailFull)
 
    if smtpresult:
        errstr = ""
        for recip in smtpresult.keys():
            errstr = """Could not delivery mail to: %s
 
    Server said: %s
    %s
 
    %s""" % (recip, smtpresult[recip][0], smtpresult[recip][1], errstr)
        raise smtplib.SMTPException, errstr

From the terminal, the script works fine. I then played around with tkinter, and I got the script to work from a GUI as well.

However, I then tried playing around with wxpython and when I tried to send the email thru the wxpython created GUI, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/***/python_scripts/glade/email.py", line 40, in save
SendGame_func.EmailGame(self.text_ctrl_1.GetValue( ))
File "/home/****/python_scripts/glade/SendGame_func.py", line 5, in EmailGame
import smtplib
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/smtplib.py", line 49, in ?
from email.base64MIME import encode as encode_base64
ImportError: No module named base64MIME

I have looked around in my /usr/lib directory, and there is an smtplib in a python2.4 directory and one in the python2.5 directory.

I tried changing:

#! /usr/bin/env python

to

#! /usr/bin/python2.4

In both the above script and the GUI scripts. Result is the same, so I changed it to:

#! /usr/bin/python2.5

With the result that the wxpython script tells me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/****/python_scripts/glade/email.py", line 5, in <module>
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

Why am I getting this error in wxpython, but not tkinter and the terminal?

wx installs in the site-packages directory of the python version that is is compiled to run under (they're different). You'll need to have each wx site packagd installed in order to be able to switch versions of the interpreter.

Hope that helps,

Yes, that is helpful. But what file am I looking for in "site-packages?" In the python2.5 directory there is no file or subdirectory that seems to reference wx. In python2.4, there are several files that seem to be wx related, plus a wxglade directory

Interestingly, the wxpython GUI that I am having ptroblems with was created with wxglade. After I posted above post, I added a email choice to a menu to a GIU that I hand coded with wxpython (the GUI was based on one I created following along this tutorial. That script calls the same email function as above, and it worked fine?

Is this just a thing with wxglade? Not sure what is in the source that makes the wxglade created script behave differently? All "imports" etc seem to be the same as the other wxpython script?

Thanks for bearing with me :-)

The wx installation should be 1 directory (sorry, I'm not on my development machine at the moment) plus one .pth file that points to that directory and (I think) there's something like wxaddons directory (don't know what's in there).

Also, I'm on windows so the help that I can offer is limited in this regard.

I had problems with wxGlade on windows. I switched to Boa Constructor a long time ago. Boa is TRULY a miraculous piece of work!
