2008-02-14 Thread stranger4good 

New submission from stranger4good:

smtplib.SMTP() raises socket.error rather than SMTPConnectError

just try this on a non-responding address

>>> srv=smtplib.SMTP('192.168.13.22')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "c:\python25\lib\smtplib.py", line 244, in __init__
(code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
  File "c:\python25\lib\smtplib.py", line 311, in connect
(code, msg) = self.getreply()
  File "c:\python25\lib\smtplib.py", line 352, in getreply
line = self.file.readline()
  File "C:\Python25\lib\socket.py", line 346, in readline
data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)
socket.error: (10054, 'Connection reset by peer')

[issue2118] smtplib.SMTP() raises socket.error rather than SMTPConnectError

2008-02-15 Thread stranger4good 

stranger4good added the comment:

Not in so many words, but yes it does

I cite:

exception SMTPException 
Base exception class for all exceptions raised by this
module
...
exception SMTPConnectError 
Error occurred during establishment of a connection
with the server. 
...

Note the word "all". So, at least one should be able
to catch SMTPException, but it is not the case

Just my 2 cents. I do believe it is a great piece of
work.

Regards
