Could you do ``python3.2 -c "import email; print email"``?  That should print the location of your email module;  my guess being that you have another module called email.py on your path that shadows the standard library's email package.

[Bart Thate]

Thanks fo your quick reaction Robert,

something is shadowing the email module, but it is a system module. Debian seems to split stuff up in a python3 directory (mostely site-packages) and a python3.2 directory with all the lib stuff (could be other way around as well, this is how i remember seeing it)

10:25:04 tl@time:~/dev/first$ python3.2 -c "import email; print(email)"

<module 'email' from '/usr/lib/python3.2/email/__init__.py'>

When googling for this error, they mention that the excpetion i am getting is a sign of mixing python2 and 3 code somehow, but if i look a the trace it seems something different.

Ah wait i got it ;]

Adding the print to the base app showed me this:

10:40:44 tl@time:~/dev/first$ ./bin/tl-sphinx 

Running Sphinx v1.1.3

<module 'email' from '/home/tl/dev/first/tl/drivers/email/__init__.py'>

So you are right, to call a module email yourself is not a good idea.

Thnx for the help !! i can create my docs again ;]

Bart
