Not to worry.  This isn't your Python, it's an instance of Python running on
the SourceForge box.  It doesn't matter which client you're using.  The CVS
server is trying to send out the checkin mail, and had a problem with that
on their end.  Your change should still be checked in just fine, but the
checkins list may not see email about it.
