Email notification doesn't work

[skolgan@…]

Trac 0.7.1 on RedHat 8.0 - everything works just dandy, except…

After configuring trac.ini to enable email notifications, the following Python traceback appears when one submits a ticket:

Looks like it might be a corrupt Python installation.

Python 2.2.2 (#1, Jan 10 2003, 09:24:01)
[GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from email.Header import Header

You mean a corrupt installation on what side? Mine? I run RedHat 8.0, and mine says

Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30) [GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2

resolved by upgrading python to 2.2.3 - version 2.2.1 does not have email.Header package available. Please make sure that trac install page states that trac works with python v 2.2.2 and later.
