exception from a thread
assume a scenario, where there is a class that for doing some work, spawns lot of threads. class X: def __init__(self): # Spawns some threads to # do some work now, assuming that at least one of the threads encounters a problem while doing work and throws an exception. Would I be able to handle that error in the caller class? When I try to do this, I see that the errors thrown by the threads never cascade to this caller :( -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
SMTP server w/o using Twisted framework
Is it possible to run a SMTP server that sends mail to recipients using standard libraries, without using twisted framework, and also without using any relay server? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The problem is that with the scenario I'm faced with, I don't have any reliable SMTP server that I can use. Hence, I though I will spawn my own light-weight SMTP server that can send mails to the people I want, on the Internet. But, from what you are saying it seems, it might not be that light weight after all! > Otherwise, you'll probably need to also > implement queuing and retry logic (depending on your requirements).

Would it be considered spam even if I've a valid from address, and a proper message/subject? Does the spam filter also rely on the sending server's DNS etc because of which you say it might get flagged as spam? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

retrieving ATOM/FSS feeds
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I'm using feedparser library to parser ATOM/RSS feeds. However, I don't
get the entire post! but only summaries! How do I retrieve the entire feed?
I believe that the parser library should have support for doing that or the
specification should detail how it can be done? Or should I simply get the
feed link and do HTML scraping?

For the same feed (where the content producer doesn't provide the full
article!) I was able to see the complete post in other RSS aggregators (like
Blam). I wanted to know how they were able to collect the feed!
I knew for sure that you can't do screen scraping separately for each and
every blog and that there has be a standard way or atleast that blogs
maintain a standard template for rendering posts. I mean if each of the site
only offered partial content and the rest had to be scraped from the page,
and the page maintained a non-standard structure which is more likely, then
it would become impossible IMHO for any aggregator to aggregate feeds!
I shall for now try with BeautifulSoup, though I'm still doubtful about it.
