Yup, its not so simple

Your problem is :

 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/mimetools.py", line 130, in choose_boundary
   hostid = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
socket.gaierror: (8, 'hostname nor servname provided, or not known')

What do you get if you do the following in your interpreter?


>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostname()
'twilliams'
>>> socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
'194.129.107.254'
>>>
