I can't seem to import smtplib in either a script or the command line

When I try to import smtp, there seems to be some kind of collision
with urllib2. I get a weird error about Web server authorization, even
though I'm not calling urllib2.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Here's the mess....

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67917, Dec 23 2008, 14:57:27)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin

import smtplib

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Ooops.  Here's your problem.  Notice how that's not 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/email/?  You have an "email" module that's obscuring the stdlib
email package.
