I can't seem to import smtplib in either a script or the command line interpreter.
When I try to import smtp, there seems to be some kind of collision with urllib2. I get a weird error about Web server authorization, even though I'm not calling urllib2. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Here's the mess....
