You can't open sockets on App Engine.

Maybe he just did not know better. Sometimes I think the down votting is kind of cruel

Haha it's fine. Thanks for standing up for me.

No problem, because I understand when somebody is really posting dumb stuff about php instead of python or flaming that he gets down voted. But this..?

@Alfred - it is a bad answer based on a reasonable misunderstanding. I think other people might try the approach I suggested, but it won't work for the reason Nick Johnson cited. In my opinion it should be downvoted once and left as a warning. I only have issue when innocently wrong answers are downvoted multiple times.

I would use libgmail -- seems to be the most popular pure-Python way to do it. However for app engine use I believe it would have to be ported to use urlfetch and I don't think anybody's done that yet (I'd happily receive news to the contrary!-).

Configure your app to receive email, then, if it really has to be a gmail address, set up the gmail address to forward everything to your appspot address.
