[Tutor] newbie: trouble importing email module

Hey folks

I'm very new to python, but I'm trying to create a simple cgi script 
that will send an email message. So I started out trying to construct a 
message using the email.Message module, unfortunately it seems like my 
isp is missing this module. Example:

 >>> import email
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named email
 >>>

The version I am using is 2.1.2 on an OpenBSD system. I'm wondering if 
I'm doing something completely wrong or not because I thought the email 
module was part of the standard distribution. And if not, I'm wondering 
if the name of the module has changed, or if it's possible to list all 
available modules in some way. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
