ImportError: No module named mime.multipart

Question

Good morning,

For testing purposes, I have made a one-line Python program:

from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

When I run it

Answer 1

An easier way to debug the error is:

>>> import email
>>> dir(email)
['Charset', 'Encoders', 'Errors', 'FeedParser', 'Generator', 'Header', 'Iterator
s', 'LazyImporter', 'MIMEAudio', 'MIMEBase', 'MIMEImage', 'MIMEMessage', 'MIMEMu
ltipart', 'MIMENonMultipart', 'MIMEText', 'Message', 'Parser', 'Utils', '_LOWERN
AMES', '_MIMENAMES', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__
', '__package__', '__path__', '__version__', '_name', 'base64MIME', 'email', 'im
porter', 'message_from_file', 'message_from_string', 'mime', 'quopriMIME', 'sys'
]
>>>

from the above you can note that MIMEMultipart is readily available to be imported from email.
