Unable to install the package "email"

Question

I can't install the package "email" on Ubuntu 14 neither for Python3, not for Python 2.7

 sudo pip install email
 # or sudo pip3 install email

And the error is:

  ImportError: No module named 'cStringIO'

    ----------------------------------------

I need to install it for Python3.

Solution

email is an standard library , which need not to be imported separately,

just use import email .

for more usage and features kindly refer to python docs

Have you tried importing email module directly ? I think it's the part of standard library.

@Rahul, you're a genius.

@Rahul, why can't I do this "from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart" ---> "ImportError: No module named 'email.MIMEMultipart'" ?

[Rahul]

Try this from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
