Read the traceback carefully! Look at the last line here!

And then check your modules...
 >>> import email.Message
 >>> type(email.Message)
<type 'module'>
 >>> email.Message.Message
<class email.Message.Message at 0x01699280>

Maybe it works if you just hand over the *class*
email.Message.Message instead of the *module* email.Message!
