Thank you. This proves conclusively that there IS in fact a file called
email.pyc (and/or email.py) in your directory next to testMail.py. It is
this email.pyc that is being imported instead of the email.py from the
Python library. Getting rid of both email.py and email.pyc (by renaming
them, deleting them, or moving them somewhere else) will fix your problem.
