Python email modules not found

[cudjoe]

Hi all,

I am facing a little problem, and I am getting mad ! Last hope is the forum !

I want to use the email.Parser, email.Utils, ... modules under Gutsy.

import email, email.Header, email.Message, email.Utils

ImportError: No module named Header
Error in sys.excepthook:
.....


I had a look in /usr/lib/python2.5/email/
base64mime.py errors.py header.py message.py parser.pyc
base64mime.pyc errors.pyc header.pyc message.pyc quoprimime.py
charset.py feedparser.py __init__.py mime quoprimime.pyc
charset.pyc feedparser.pyc __init__.pyc _parseaddr.py utils.py
encoders.py generator.py iterators.py _parseaddr.pyc utils.pyc
encoders.pyc generator.pyc iterators.pyc parser.py

Modules and classes are here !

Any ideas ? Thanks !

Double check that your python is pointed at the 2.5 version and not the 2.4

python --version

If it's the 2.4 then you're looking in the wrong directories.

I am sorry I did not mention that.
Of course I had this checked :)

I had something really strange, like that :

cudjoe@-laptop:~/Code$ diff file1.py file2.py
cudjoe@-laptop:~/Code$ python file1.py
ok
cudjoe@-laptop:~/Code$ python file2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "file2.py", line 3, in <module>

import email, email.Errors, email.Header, email.Message, email.Utils
ImportError: No module named Errors

import email, email.Errors, email.Header, email.Message, email.Utils

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "file2.py", line 3, in <module>
import email, email.Errors, email.Header, email.Message, email.Utils
File "/home/cudjoe/Code/file2.py", line 4, in <module>

ImportError: No module named Errors


The two files are identical. One was working, and the other was not.

I tied up everything (rm *.pyc, renamed and moved) and it now works. I can't reproduce it.

Well, glad things are working then.
