Why _thread doesnt work on the remote server?

[Sergei Sokov]

This code works on my local server, but doesnt work on the hosting. What could be the problem?

import _thread

def email_index(*args):

    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)

    server.starttls()

    server.login('k...@gmail.com', 'pas')

    try:

        server.sendmail('k...@gmail.com', 's...@gmail.com', body_mes.encode('utf-8')) print('ok')

     except:

         print('An error occurred when trying to send an email')

try:

    _thread.start_new_thread( email_index, ("Thread-1", 2, ) )

except:

    print ("Error: unable to start thread")

Hard to tell. You're explicitly throwing away any relevant information
by using a catch-all exception handler.

Do any of your "an error happened" messages reach a log anywhere?

No matter what, don't catch exceptions if you don't have any way to
handle them anyway, that makes it possible to debug and fix errors like
these.

Kind regards,
