When I pyLint the following code above I receive the following messages:
E: 8:sendMail: No name 'MIMEText' in module 'email'
F: 8:sendMail: Unable to import 'email.MIMEText'
E: 9:sendMail: No name 'Header' in module 'email'
F: 9:sendMail: Unable to import 'email.Header'
But the program is running withount any problems. I guess there is a bug
in pyLint.
Wrong guess. The email module just uses dirty tricks which pylint
doesn't know about.
The example uses old names which are more or less deprecated. The old
names and the hacks used to make them work causes all kinds of trouple -
see for example http://bugs.python.org/issue2622.
Pylint doesn't complain if you use
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.header import Header
Pylint could perhaps be taught to give other/better warnings in this
case. But unless it can be taught to handle that kind of hacks in
general then I don't think it is worth fixing.
