Hi, I've done some Python programming, but I still consider myself a Python newbie. I have a Mac Pro OS X 10.5.8 system and I installed Python 2.6.2 (the latest package available for the Mac) yesterday.
I was working through Matt Wilson's article on using the logging module: http://blog.tplus1.com/index.php/2007/09/28/the-python-logging-module-is-much-better-than-print-statements/ (If that does not work, then try: http://tinyurl.com/5v2lcy ) Everything worked great until his last example. My ISP does not provide e-mail, so I tried using gmail in the line that sets h2. I substituted "mailid" for my actual e-mail address in the following examples; in my test I used my actual e-mail ID. Also, I used the full path to the newly installed Python 2.6.2; otherwise it picked up the older Python 2.5: #!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python First attempt: h2 = logging.handlers.SMTPHandler('smtp.gmail.com', 'mai...@gmail.com', ['mai...@gmail.com'],'ERROR log') However, that caused the following error to be issued: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/logging/handlers.py", line 868, in emit smtp.sendmail(self.fromaddr, self.toaddrs, msg) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/smtplib.py", line 698, in sendmail raise SMTPSenderRefused(code, resp, from_addr) SMTPSenderRefused: (530, '5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 7sm3867994qwf.47', 'mai...@gmail.com') I also tried providing my gmail userid/password, I tried adding a 5th, credential, argument, which is a tupple, (username,password) (new in 2.6). Second attempt: h2 = logging.handlers.SMTPHandler('smtp.gmail.com', 'mai...@gmail.com', ['mai...@gmail.com'],'ERROR log',('mai...@gmail.com','gmail- password')) However, that caused the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/logging/handlers.py", line 867, in emit smtp.login(self.username, self.password) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ python2.6/smtplib.py", line 552, in login raise SMTPException("SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.") SMTPException: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server. I am able access gmail via Mac's Mail, in which it says that outgoing mail is going to: smtp.gmail.com:mailid I tried using that as the server in the Python script, but it could not find that server. Is this possible? If I am doing something incorrectly, would someone please indicate what it is? Thanks, Bev in TX -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
