Sending email with python -

i have following code

import smtplib  sender = 'sender@sender.com' receivers = ['receiver@receiver.com']  message = """from: person <sender@sender.com> to: person <receiver@receiver.com> subject: blending baby !  test e-mail message. """  try:     smtpobj = smtplib.smtp('localhost')     smtpobj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)     print "successfully sent email" except smtpexception:     print "error: unable send email" 

its copy/paste somewhere , works fine.

however . . . once included overall program, email receive not have sender or receiver available ???

its blank.... same code.

import paramiko import time import smtplib  def disable_paging(remote_conn):     '''disable paging on cisco router'''      remote_conn.send("terminal length 0\n")     time.sleep(1)      # clear buffer on screen     output = remote_conn.recv(1000)      return output   def main():      # variables need changed     ip = '1.2.3.4'     username = 'xxx'     password = 'xxx'      # create instance of sshclient object     remote_conn_pre = paramiko.sshclient()      # automatically add untrusted hosts (make sure okay security policy in environment)     remote_conn_pre.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.autoaddpolicy())      # initiate ssh connection     remote_conn_pre.connect(ip, username=username, password=password, look_for_keys=false, allow_agent=false)      # use invoke_shell establish 'interactive session'     remote_conn = remote_conn_pre.invoke_shell()      # strip initial router prompt     output = remote_conn.recv(1000)      # turn off paging     disable_paging(remote_conn)      # let's try send router command     remote_conn.send("\n")     remote_conn.send("show log last 50\n")      # wait command complete     time.sleep(2)      output = remote_conn.recv(10000)      if 'bad.thing' in output:         email_sender()      def email_sender():  sender = 'sender@sender.com' receivers = ['receiver@receiver.com']  message = """from: person <sender@sender.com> to: person <receiver@receiver.com> subject: blending baby !  test e-mail message. """  try:     smtpobj = smtplib.smtp('localhost')     smtpobj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)     print "successfully sent email" except smtpexception:     print "error: unable send email"  main() 

i'm puzzled, please excuse indentation may wrong, done purpose of post.

if indentation of code pasted, please indent code correctly , check if works:

def email_sender():     sender = 'sender@sender.com'     receivers = ['receiver@receiver.com']      message = """from: person <sender@sender.com>     to: person <receiver@receiver.com>     subject: blending baby !      test e-mail message.     """      try:         smtpobj = smtplib.smtp('localhost')         smtpobj.sendmail(sender, receivers, message)         print "successfully sent email"     except smtpexception:         print "error: unable send email"
