The problem seems to be in one of your library files. Can't help you since Python25 has died many years ago.

ran same thing python27, same

Somehow you are sending through a list object rather then a string.

impossible.I usedmsg.as_string()

impossible.I usedmsg.as_string()

The error is in the call to msg.as_string()
