I just modified my tools.py as follows:
elif self.settings.server == 'gae':
logging.warn("using gae mail server")
from google.appengine.api import mail
attachments = attachments and
[(a.my_filename,a.my_payload) for a in attachments]
## gae mailer chokes on empty attachments or html
extra = dict(html=html, attachments=attachments)
for k in extra.keys():
if not extra[k]: extra.pop(k)
result = mail.send_mail(sender=self.settings.sender,
to=to,
subject=subject, body=text,
**extra)
logging.warn("result of mail.send_mail() is
%s"%repr(result))
This fixed the exceptions associated with empty attachments and html,
but no mail is being sent when testing under GAE Launcher, apparently
because something else needs to be done to enable it. Here's what's
showing up in the console log:
WARNING 2010-07-11 15:57:04,413 tools.py:535] using gae mail server

currently sending out real email. If you have sendmail installed you
can use it by using the server with --enable_sendmail
WARNING 2010-07-11 15:57:04,417 tools.py:545] result of
mail.send_mail() is None
Since it's the gae server, I'm not sure if the bit about --
enable_sendmail is relevant, but clearly something is not set up
correctly. Any ideas?
I'm running GAE SDK 1.3.5 and web2py 1.92 on OS X 10.6.4
BTW, I'm wondering if the default registration page should be amended
to allow retrying the email notification when attempting to register
an unverified address that's already in the db. Having to use the
admin interface to delete the address each time while debugging mail
settings is time-consuming.
Thanks,
Mike
