CPAN Equivalent for Python

Alexandre Fayolle <alf at fayauffre.org> utters:

: SMTP is in module smtplib in the standard library.

I tried the following but it gives me some error messages.

ActivePython 2.2.2 Build 224 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.2.2 (#37, Nov 26 2002, 10:24:37) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import smtplib
>>> s=smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
>>> print s.help()
(500, 'unsupport command')
>>> s.putcmd("vrfy", "someone at here")
>>> s.getreply()
(500, 'unsupport command')
>>>

: NNTP is in module nntplib in the standard library.

NNTP seems to work properly.


What was I missing? Thanks.
