Naw, if I have to go through all that, I'll skip on python this time

Yup, its not so simple

Your problem is :

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/mimetools.py", line 130, in choose_boundary
  hostid = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
socket.gaierror: (8, 'hostname nor servname provided, or not known')

What do you get if you do the following in your interpreter?


import socket
socket.gethostname()
'twilliams'
socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
'194.129.107.254'


import socket
socket.gethostname()
'server312.example.com'
socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
socket.gaierror: (8, 'hostname nor servname provided, or not known')


Obviously, I substituted "example.com" above; however, the host that comes 
back no longer exists, so it may as well be "example.com"! And the server # 
is courtesy of the server farm. In fact, the whole thing is. What do?
TIA,
Eric
