thanks for the responses.

I put the files in an ftp site and all is 
well.

python program deleted

2008-03-27 Thread jim-on-linux
py users,

I developed a python program and used py2exe 
to create the exe. 

I zip the entire package and email it to my 
clients.

Some clients get the zip file, unzip the 
package and everything works fine. 

And some clients get my email with an icon 
attached which has the correct filename but 
the size is 8k when it should be about 5 mb. 

I've renamed the file without the zip ext. 
and tried other renaming schemes without 
success.

Has anyone had this experience?  Any ideas on 
how to solve this problem.

That would be an email problem, not a Python problem.

You need to:

(1) Check that you actually are attaching the 5MB file to the email like 
you think you are.

(2) Check that your mail client is sending the email with attachment.

(3) Check that your mail server is accepting the email.

(4) Check that your mail server is sending the email.

(5) Check that the receiver's mail server is accepting the email.

(6) Check that the receiver's mail server is delivering the 5MB email to 
the user's mailbox.

(7) Check that the receiver's mail client is displaying the attachment.


It's quite possible that the receiver's mail server is quarantining the 
attachment. 5MB is a lot for email -- many mail servers will reject 
emails larger than 10MB, although in my opinion setting the limit at 5MB 
is being overly strict. Once you've confirmed that the attachment left 
your mail server, you need to tell your clients to speak to their system 
administrator.

Yes: don't send the program by email :)
Put it somewhere for your customers to download. Use some authorization  
scheme (user/password) if needed.
