Issue
I am having problems understanding how to email an attachment using Python. I have successfully emailed simple messages with the smtplib
. Could someone please explain how to send an attachment in an email. I know there are other posts online but as a Python beginner I find them hard to understand.
Solution
Here's another:
import smtplib
from os.path import basename
from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate
def send_mail(send_from, send_to, subject, text, files=None,
server="127.0.0.1"):
assert isinstance(send_to, list)
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = send_from
msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(send_to)
msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=True)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg.attach(MIMEText(text))
for f in files or []:
with open(f, "rb") as fil:
part = MIMEApplication(
fil.read(),
Name=basename(f)
)
# After the file is closed
part['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % basename(f)
msg.attach(part)
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server)
smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string())
smtp.close()
It's much the same as the first example... But it should be easier to drop in.
