smtplib.SMTP "no attributes SMTP"

[Copelandia Cyanescens]

Python Python 2.3.4, Windows, "clean" install, using the example code
given in the documentation, I get this...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\projects\email\email.py", line 24, in ?
    server = smtplib.SMTP('mail.xxxxx.xxx')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SMTP'

I beg to differ, it most certainly does. Right? :)

TIA
