On my system, running the simple smtplib Example from the Documentation results in a segmentation fault. Execution stops and no mail is submitted. I debugged into the Python source code, but my understanding of the inner mechanisms doesn't suffice to fix the problem. I update my system periodically using "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade". I don't remember, when it was the last time Python was upgraded. I made the files availabe: http://www.bertram-scharpf.de/tmp/smtpex.py.txt http://www.bertram-scharpf.de/tmp/smtpex.desc.txt

Logged In: YES user_id=580910 I cannot reproduce this. I've tested: Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul 5 2004, 09:15:05) [GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-2)] on linux2 Python 2.2.3+ (#1, Jun 20 2004, 13:32:48) [GCC 3.3.4 (Debian)] on linux2 The first is the system python on MacOS X, the other two are current Debian packages (python2.3 and python2.2) on Debian stable.

Logged In: YES user_id=1097255 Indeed, I did compile python 2.2.1 with Gcc versions 2.95, 3.0 and 3.3. The segfault only occurs in the 2.95 compiled code.

Logged In: YES user_id=752496 Please, could you verify if this problem persists in Python 2.3.4 or 2.4? If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case? If the problem is solved, from which version? Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug as "Won't fix". Thank you! . Facundo

Could you please indicate exactly the command you're running, and provide the full backtrace?

The original poster's links are dead. Without a reproducible problem with a current release, there is nothing we can do. Anyone who can provide such and will respond to requests for more information can reopen. Note: On Win 7 with 3.2, 3.3, current example exits on line server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost') with socket.error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
