python电子邮件脚本在Mac OS X 10.9上不起作用

Question

I started trying to make a script to send emails using python, but nothing worked. I eventually got to the point where I just started copying and pasting email scripts and filling in my info. Still nothing worked. So i eventually just got rid of everything except this:

#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib

This still did not work. Can someone explain to me why this doesn't work? I'm sure its really simple. I'm using mac os x 10.9 if that makes a difference. here is my error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "the_email.py", line 2, in <module>
    import smtplib
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 46, in <module>
    import email.utils
ImportError: No module named utils

Answer 1

Change the name of your script from email.py to something else. It is interfering with the Python standard library module of the same name, email .

Answer 2

Read this: Syntax: python smtplib not working in script

A user says that you have to remove email.py from the folder.
