Hello,

I created some bindings to a 3rd party library.
I have found that when I run Python and import smtplib it works fine.
If I first log into the 3rd party application using my bindings however
I get a bunch of errors.

What do you think this 3rd party login could be doing that would affect
the ability to import smtp lib.

I don't know what 'login' actually means,...

This works...

import smtplib
FOO_login()

This doesn't...

FOO_login()
import smtplib

but my first guess is that FOO_login alters the module search path so that at least one of smtplib, hashlib, or the _xxx modules imported by hashlib is being imported from a different place. To check that

import sys
before = sys.path
FOO_login()
print sys.path==before

Similar code can check anything else accessible through sys.

Errors.....

 >>> import smtplib
ERROR:root:code for hash sha224 was not found.

I am puzzled by this line before the traceback. I cannot find 'ERROR' in either smtplib or hashlib.

Traceback (most recent call last):

It is also unusual to get multiple tracebacks. *Exactly* how are you running python and is 2.7 what you intend to run?
