this is *not* the traceback. This is only the error message. The
traceback contains all needed informations (or at least all possible
information at this point) to know what happened. But you did not post
the traceback. Nor did you post the minimal runnable code snippet
producing this error.

python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for
p in 'onurb at xiludom.gro'.split('@')])"
