How do i add a document attachment when sending an email with python ?
i get the email to send
(please ignore: i am looping the email to send every 5 seconds, only for testing purposes, i want it to send every 30 min, just have to change 5 to 1800)
here is my code so far. how do i attach a document from my computer?
#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import smtplib
while True:
TO = '[email protected]'
SUBJECT = 'Python Email'
TEXT = 'Here is the message'
gmail_sender = '[email protected]'
gmail_passwd = 'xxxx'
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(gmail_sender, gmail_passwd)
BODY = '\n'.join([
'To: %s' % TO,
'From: %s' % gmail_sender,
'Subject:%s' % SUBJECT,
'',
TEXT
])
try:
server.sendmail(gmail_sender,[TO], BODY)
print 'email sent'
except:
print 'error sending mail'
time.sleep(5)
server.quit()
解决方案
This is the code that worked for me- to send an email with an attachment in python
#!/usr/bin/python
import smtplib,ssl
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import formatdate
from email import encoders
def send_mail(send_from,send_to,subject,text,files,server,port,username='',password='',isTls=True):
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = send_from
msg['To'] = send_to
msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime = True)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg.attach(MIMEText(text))
part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")
part.set_payload(open("WorkBook3.xlsx", "rb").read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="WorkBook3.xlsx"')
msg.attach(part)
#context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3)
#SSL connection only working on Python 3+
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server, port)
if isTls:
smtp.starttls()
smtp.login(username,password)
smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string())
smtp.quit()
