Message249269
This seems like a bug to me, but it may be a recognized limitation even though I couldn't find any documentation suggesting that my tests should not work reliably. I see no reason why my tests should not work reliably.
I have reliably reproduced the flakeyness under Windows XP with Python 2.6.4 and under Xubuntu 14.04 64-bit with Python 2.7.6 and Python 3.4.0.
Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) - XFCE desktop (Xubuntu) 64-bit
Gnome: 3.8.4
Kernel: 3.13.0-62-generic
GCC Version: 4.8 (x86_64-linux-gnu)
Xorg Version: 1.15.1 (12 February 2015 02:49:29PM)
Rebooting doesn't help.
I first encountered the flakeyness in a complicated script which I will describe in outline first. The very, very simple interactive Python sessions that follow are probably of more interest and use to you.

Outline of my complicated script:
import email
# The next line works around a flakeyness in Python
from email.mime.nonmultipart import MIMENonMultipart
msg = email.mime.nonmultipart.MIMENonMultipart('text', 'plain', charset='utf-8')
Without the above work around I always get Error:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'nonmultipart'
Note "import email" is global. "from email.mime.nonmultipart import MIMENonMultipart" is local to the function containing the "msg = " line which is the line that fails whenever the workaround is absent.
