Question

Hey All,

I have some code here, the problem is in line 82-83:

import smtplib
import wx

window=wx.App()

class pymailer(wx.Frame):
    
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,None,-1,"Py-mailer",size=(500,700))

        try:
            self.s=smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
            self.s.starttls()
        except:
            wx.MessageBox("Error 001: Could not connect to the internet, please try again later.","Internet Connection Error")

        self.panel=wx.Panel(self,-1)
        
        menubar=wx.MenuBar()

        filem=wx.Menu()
        filem.Append(201,"Quit")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU,self.Quit,id=201)

        viewm=wx.Menu()
        viewm.Append(202,"About")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU,self.About,id=202)

        menubar.Append(filem,"File")
        menubar.Append(viewm,"Help")

        self.SetMenuBar(menubar)

        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Welcome to Py-mailer.\n\nLogin with your Gmail credentials and you can send a text-only email to anyone quickly and easily.",pos=(10,10))
        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Please enter your Gmail login ID: ",pos=(10,100))
        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Please enter your Gmail login password:\n(will not be stored)",pos=(10,130))

        self.username=wx.TextCtrl(self.panel,101,"Login ID",pos=(220,100))        
        self.password=wx.TextCtrl(self.panel,102,"Password",style=(wx.TE_PASSWORD),pos=(220,130))

        login=wx.Button(self.panel,103,label="Login",pos=(10,170))
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.Login,id=103)
        
        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"To:",pos=(10,250))
        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Subject:",pos=(10,280))
        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Message:",pos=(10,310))

        self.to_info=wx.TextCtrl(self.panel,104,pos=(80,250),size=(240,20))        
        self.sub_info=wx.TextCtrl(self.panel,105,pos=(80,280),size=(240,20))        
        self.msg_info=wx.TextCtrl(self.panel,106,pos=(80,310),size=(240,150))
        
        send=wx.Button(self.panel,107,"Send",pos=(245,470))
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,self.Send,id=107)

        self.Centre()
        self.Show()

    def Quit(self,event):
        self.Close()
    
    def About(self,event):
        about=wx.AboutDialogInfo()
        
        about.SetName("Py-Mailer")
        about.SetCopyright("(c) 2009 Sravan")
        about.SetWebSite("http://www.uberpix.wordpress.com")
        about.AddDeveloper("Sravan")
        about.AddDeveloper("Daniel Pacheco")

        wx.AboutBox(about)

    def Login(self,event):

        self.user=self.username.GetValue()
        self.passw=self.password.GetValue()

        if(self.user=="" and self.passw==""):
            wx.MessageBox("Error 002: You did not enter your username and/or password","Enter Login Details")

        try:
            self.s.login(self.user,self.passw)
            wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Logged in...",pos=(10,200))
        except:
            wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Failed",pos=(10,200))
        

    def Send(self,event):
        self.to=self.to_info.GetValue()
        self.subject=self.sub_info.GetValue()
        self.message=self.msg_info.GetValue()
        self.msg="To: "+self.to+"\nSubject: "+self.subject+"\n"+self.message
        self.s.sendmail(self.user,self.to,self.msg)
        self.s.quit()        

        wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Your message has been sent!",pos=(175,500))        

pymailer()
window.MainLoop()

- because once I login successfully, if I again login with wrong details, the "Failed" text doesn't overwrite the "Logged in..." text fully.... so what do I do?

Thanks a load

python

How about instead of just generating an arbitrary StaticText object, assign it to a persistent member of your class (let's call it self.login_status_text ). Then instead of generating it each time, simply update the contents to the proper string (It's been years since messing with wxPython but if I remember correctly you might want to use SetLabel in this case).

You can set size so the text get overwrite.
And som color look better.

try:
    self.s.login(self.user,self.passw)
    wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Logged in...",pos=(10,200),size = (150,20)).SetForegroundColour('blue')         
except:
    wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Failed",pos=(10,200),size = (150,20)).SetForegroundColour('red')

For me i have to have this put in this lines or it dont work for me.

self.s.ehlo()
self.s.starttls()
self.s.ehlo()

And your design need some work,can give som tips later if you want that.

I would be glad to get some tips from you!

Then instead of generating it each time, simply update the contents to the proper string (It's been years since messing with wxPython but if I remember correctly you might want to use SetLabel in this case).

I changed lines 81-85 to this:

try:
            self.s.login(self.user,self.passw)
            self.loginmsg.SetLabel("Logged in...")
        except:
            self.loginmsg.SetLabel("Failed to login, please try again...")

But it still doesn't overwrite properly... guess I will just have to settle on snippsat's opinion...

Note that the way you use try/except is not very wise.

try:            
            self.s.sendmail(self.user,self.to,self.msg)
            wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Mail send successfully",pos = (120,435)).SetForegroundColour('blue') 
            self.s.quit()
        except:
            wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Mail not sent",pos = (120,435)).SetForegroundColour('red')

You should do something like this instead:

try:            
            self.s.sendmail(self.user,self.to,self.msg)
        except LoginError:
            wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Mail not sent",pos = (120,435)).SetForegroundColour('red')            
        else:
            wx.StaticText(self.panel,-1,"Mail send successfully",pos = (120,435)).SetForegroundColour('blue') 
            self.s.quit()
