Python will not load the email module or any of its child modules.

More detail is needed than this in order to try to fix this.  What error
message are you getting?  What OS?  What exact version of Python?  Is
this a binary distro or a source one?

Since all releases are thoroughly tested and never had any import issues
with the email code chances are there is a problem with your environment
and not Python.

I have attempted the following separately: import email   import 
email.Utils    import email.utils

they each return the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Panda3D-1.4.2\python\lib\smtplib.py", line 49, in ?
    from email.base64MIME import encode as encode_base64
ImportError: No module named base64MIME

I just noticed that the directory you are executing from is Panda3D. 
Did you not download Python directly but are using the one from Panda3D?

But the email package does not import smtplib (the dependency is the
other way). Can you please try with the command:
  import email
and paste the whole traceback?

Let's not waste time in the bug tracker debugging some user's broken
setup.  Let him contact Panda3D's customer support.
