Here's a minimal example: import logging from logging.handlers import SMTPHandler if __name__ == "__main__": logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) mail_handler = SMTPHandler( "smtp.example.com", "naviga...@example.com", "captain.n...@example.com", "fyi") mail_handler.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL) root = logging.getLogger() root.addHandler(mail_handler) # will print amessage root.warn("this is fishy") # will print a message and send an email root.critical("giant squid sighted") -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
