hello,
in my python desktop applications,
I'ld like to implement a crash reporter.
By redirecting the sys.excepthook,
I can detect a crash and collect the necessary data.
Now I want that my users sends this information to me,
and I can't find a good way of doing this.
The following solutions came into my mind:
(most of my users are on Windows, and the programs are written in Python
2.6)
1. mailto:
doesn't work if the the user didn't install a default email client,
or if the user uses a portable email client (that isn't started yet)
Besides this limits the messages to small amounts of data.
2.other mail options: smtp
AFAIK such a solution needs smtp authorization, and therefor I've to put
my username and password in the desktop application.
Try reading the documentation for Python's smtplib module.
You don't need to provide any password.
3. http-post
Although post is also limited in size,
I could store information in cookies (don't know yet how), and cookies
are sent parallel to the post message.
On the server site I can use a small php script, that stores the
post-data, cookies and/or send's a (long) email.
are there better options ?
