Error when sending smtp email: No module named 'email.MIMEMultipart'

[Jerome Gay]

Hi there,

I'm using etm_qt 2.3.22 on Windows 7, while trying to use email notifications, I ran into the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\etm_qt-2.3.22-py3.3.egg\etmQt\etmView.py", line 4448, in timeout smtp_pw=self.options['smtp_pw'])

  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\etm_qt-2.3.22-py3.3.egg\etmQt\etmData.py", line 513, in send_mail from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart

ImportError: No module named 'email.MIMEMultipart'

Here is the line of the datafile I used:

- test email @s 2014-02-07 19h07 @z Europe/Amsterdam @a 0m: e; reci...@domain.com

Here is the etm.cfg section I used (parts in bracket have been modified for privacy)

smtp_from: 'jer...@gmail.com'

smtp_id: 'jeromg'

smtp_pw: '[SUB AUTH TOKEN]'

smtp_server: 'smtp.gmail.com:587'

smtp_to: 'reci...@domain.com'

I've successfully tested the parameters (smtp server, port, username, password, recipient) using a plain smtp client.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers  /jerome

Try starting python in a terminal window and then enter:

    from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

and let me know how it goes.  If it works, then this is another windows feature and the following patch will hopefully fix the problem.

     assert type(smtp_to) == list
     assert type(files) == list

This will be in the next release but it will be a couple of weeks before I release it.

It's nice to have a Windows user who tries out all this stuff and lets me know what doesn't work. Thanks!
