Well, I thought about doing the same, which is easy since python already has smtplib built into the stdlib. I was just lazy and didn't do it. Though I would not implement it to send things silently without user acknowledgement. Since ipython is not installed by me on user machines (your situation was obviously different), I prefer to notify users of things about to be done first, in case they'd rather not have it 'call home'. But it would be a nice enhancement to add the option for auto-emailing in case of trouble. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
