Send Email in Python with Text File Attachment

// description of your code here
Send an email in python with a text attachment. You can change the attachment type by adjusting the part.startbody label in the attachment section (ie, 'image/jpg' or whatever)



import smtplib, sys, MimeWriter, StringIO, base64

import os

def mail(serverURL=None, sender='', to='', subject='', text=''):

    """

    Usage:

    mail('somemailserver.com', 'me@example.com', 'someone@example.com', 'test', 'This is a test')

    """

    message = StringIO.StringIO()

    writer = MimeWriter.MimeWriter(message)

    writer.addheader('Subject', subject)

    writer.startmultipartbody('mixed')



    # start off with a text/plain part

    part = writer.nextpart()

    body = part.startbody('text/plain')

    body.write(text)



    # now add an attachment

    part = writer.nextpart()

    part.addheader('Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'base64')

    body = part.startbody('text/plain')

    base64.encode(open('myfile.txt', 'rb'), body)



    # finish off

    writer.lastpart()



    # send the mail

    smtp = smtplib.SMTP(serverURL)

    smtp.sendmail(sender, to, message.getvalue())

    smtp.quit()

Returning A File As An Attachment From JSP

JohnMunsch (John Munsch) — Thu, 25 May 2006 01:04:59 GMT

// This is truly a snippet. It's a small piece of code you use
// within a JSP file to make sure that the file you are
// returning is not interpreted by the browser. You use this
// when you want to return a TXT file, JPG or other file that
// the browser might open on its own rather than offer a
// dialog to the user so it can be saved.
//
// Note: In this example I'm returning a text file so I set
// the MIME type of the response to text/plain, but you need
// to make sure it matches the type of data you are returning.



response.setContentType("text/plain");



response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"test.txt\"");

Send email with attachment(s) in Python

Can't remember if I wrote this or found it on the Web or a combination, so I won't take credit per se -- I'm just posting it as reference.



import smtplib

import os

from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart

from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase

from email.MIMEText import MIMEText

from email.Utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate

from email import Encoders



def send_mail(send_from, send_to, subject, text, files=[], server="localhost"):

  assert type(send_to)==list

  assert type(files)==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:

    part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")

    part.set_payload( open(file,"rb").read() )

    Encoders.encode_base64(part)

    part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(f))

    msg.attach(part)



  smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server)

  smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string())

  smtp.close()
