Not this.

Then you're doing something wrong. The line
s = smtplib.SMTP("mail.ispname.net") instantiates an SMTP instance and
connects it. Are you doing s.connect() afterwards? If yes, don't do
that, it'll try to connect to the local host, which is not an smtp
server.
If you want to separate instantiation and connection, do this:
s = smtplib.SMTP()
s.connect("mail.ispname.net")
