The SMTP class in smtplib.py sends its debug output to
stdout. This should at least be changed to stderr. Better
yet would be to make the destination configurable via a
set_debug_output() method.

Fixed in rev. 1.65 in CVS. Not backporting since some one some where
might actually depend on it going to stdout.
