I have a laptop that wakes up and then runs a script that collects
info and sends an email with a spreadsheet (zipped and about 350KB)
report to a number of people. However, every time I get the following
error:

Thanks for those suggestions.
I tried something last night before I got your ideas.
1. I added a line to send a copy of the report just to me, 2 lines
before the line where it emails the report to all the recipients.
2. I also added a timer.sleep(5) pause just before the line that
emails the repo
Just to add a little bit to the mix, I have started having these
problems since I rebuilt my machine (Xubuntu 11) and I changed the
disc formats to ext4 without even thinking about it ... I was
wondering if maybe that had something to do with it?

I tried gregory's suggestion of redirecting the stdout & stderr to a

Of course, I still don't understand why dual logging, and specifically

Hi,
I've just stumbled over this (http://showmedo.com/) and being the very
visual person I am, it seems like it could be a good way to learn
about python. However, before I smack down $60, I wondered if anyone
had any opinions on it. My gut feel is that it could be pretty good.

I have a number of threads that write to a database. I have created a
thread lock, but my question is this:
- If one thread hits a lock, do a) all the other threads stop, or b)
just the ones that come to the same lock?
- I presume that the answer is b. In which case do the threads stop

This is probably a really silly question but, given the example code
at the bottom, how would I get a single list?
What I currently get is:

('companyname', 50, 'text')
[('focus', 30, 'text'), ('fiesta', 30, 'text'), ('mondeo', 30,
'text'), ('puma', 30, 'text')]

I'm creating excel docs on the fly using XLWT. However, I need to

Does pywin32 use elements from Windows itself, or excel when

I have a list of tuples that indicate a relationship, ie a is related
to b, b is related to c etc etc. What I want to do is cluster these
relationships into groups. An item will only be associated with a
single cluster.

Thanks for the feedback both. I'll have a look at these.
One of the frustrating things I find about python is that there are so
many modules. There have been times when I've spend ages doing
something and then some has said, "Oh yeah, there is a module for
that".
Anyway. Nearly finished.
