Have you installed web.py?
Is it accesible to whatever you are running it from in the $PATH?

Thanks Hermann


Yes
webpy folder is accessible in the directory

Proj
code.py
static/
templates/
web/

if you see utils.py you can see that if we set web.config.smtp_server

web is an undefined global name

In solaris this is the error on running web.sendmail

/web/utils.py", line 823, in sendmail

    from_address = email.Utils.parseaddr(from_address)[1]
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Utils'

Are you running an old version of Python?

I think you are using old web.py 0.23 development branch. Try using web.py 0.23.
This error was around for some time, but it is fixed now.
