I am sorry , that's a mistake on my part. This output corresponds to a  typo input data. The error you saw previously was the original one (the one with error on line 255...). I corrected the typo while posting it ( ..I thought the error was same)
 

------------------------------------------------------------------

>the call should be socket.getaddrinfo( "smtp.mail.yahoo.com", 25, 0, >socket.SOCK_STREAM );

>>>socket.getaddrinfo(' smtp.mail.yahoo.com',25,0,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('216.136.173.18', 25))]

How do you resolve your hostnames ( /etc/nsswitch.conf gives the order of hostname resolution )

My nssswitch.conf

----------------------------------

passwd: compat
group:  compat

hosts:          files dns
networks:       files dns

services:       files
protocols:      files
rpc:            files
ethers:         files
netmasks:       files
netgroup:       files
publickey:      files

bootparams:     files
automount:      files nis
aliases:        files

You totally lost me here :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Is "linux" a valid hostname?

I suppose not.

linux:/srv/ # ping linux
ping: unknown host linux
