No attribute 'SMTP', error when trying to send email in Python

Question

I am trying to send an email in Python:

import smtplib


fromaddr = \'......................\'  
toaddrs  = \'......................\'  
msg = \'Spam email T         


        

Answer 1

Python already has an email module. Your script's name is email.py, which is preventing smtplib from importing the built-in email module.

Rename your script to something other than email.py and the problem will go away.
