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()
