[XML-SIG] smtpLib and xml_instance?

[Terence Lo]

Thanks for the help Jason.

In case anyone runs into this problem, I've discovered a quick fix.

As it turns out, wrapping the PCDATA with an str() method and assigning it
to toaddrs seems to work quite nicely.

ie.: toaddrs = str(config.mailer.email.PCDATA)

the print statement invokes the str() method of the object provided to it.
the str() method is providing the character data for that object.
i'm not familiar with the gnosis code but if CDATA is a 'CDATASection
Object' you want to assign PCDATA.data to toaddrs and pass that into the
smtplib code.
