Subject: [Zope] error with simple python script loop


I have an problem with this little script. The script is in the zope
file structure and it is an -Script (Python)-

The script should send 2 emails over the mailhost, but it sends 4
emails. I have test this with maildrophost product too, same problem. I
have test it on Zope 2.10.0 and Zope 2.64. The problem is the same -
everytime.

This script produce the error:
#### start ####
for i in range(2):
 subj = str(i) + ' range python'
 context.MailHost.send('range test with python', "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", subj)
#### end ####

This script produce no error:
#### start ####
for i in range(2):
 subj = str(i) + ' range python'
 context.MailHost.send('range test with python', "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", subj)
return 'eof'
#### end ####

So if i make a return (not in the loop) the script works fine.
Can anybody tell me why? It feels like that there are any spaces in the
script and zope/python did not work correctly when there is no other
procedure after the for loop. I dont understand why he calls the loop
two times and produce 4 emails. There is no transactional error in the
error_log.


I just cut and pasted your code into a python script on my Zope installation (2.9.2) and it worked as expected (ie. 2 emails sent). So something is pooched in your installation.

A quick way to check to see if your script is looping more than you expect is to do something like:

loopCheck = []
for i in range(2):
 subj = str(i) + ' range python'
context.MailHost.send('range test with python', "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", subj)
 loopCheck.append(subj)
return loopCheck

If you are getting only 2 iterations of the loop (as it should be), then something is wrong with your MailHost (if this is the case try deleting it and re-adding it). Another test: place a local copy of MailHost in the same folder as your script and see what happens.
