    <p>I have a script that sends an email via a mail server. The script only works when I call <code>import smtplib</code> first in the interactive window. Otherwise, I get the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>ImportError: No module named MIMEMultipart</p> </blockquote> <p>Can someone help me understand the underlying reason behind this behavior?</p> <pre><code>import smtplib from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email import Encoders import os # Fill in the necessary blanks here gmail_user = "&lt;your user name&gt;" gmail_pwd = "&lt;your password&gt;" def mail(to, subject, text): msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = gmail_user msg['To'] = to msg['Subject'] = subject msg.attach(MIMEText(text)) msg.attach(MIMEText(text)) mailServer =smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587) mailServer.ehlo() mailServer.starttls() mailServer.ehlo() mailServer.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd) mailServer.sendmail(gmail_user, to, msg.as_string()) mailServer.close() mail("&lt;recipient's email&gt;", "Hello from python!", "This is an email sent with python") </code></pre>

    3. COI don't know what a script window is, but the normal way to run a script is by running it with the python interpreter: `python scriptname.py` on a command line. Try that.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
