I am trying to send an email with an attachment from my Python script. To send the text in the body seems ok but I am not sure about the syntax for the file attachment.
My code snippet is:
import smtplib
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
def send_email(self):
fromaddress = "[email protected]"
toaddress = "[email protected]"
text = "subject line test"
username = "[email protected]"
password = "-"
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['from'] =fromaddress
msg['to'] = toaddress
msg['subject'] = text
msg.attach(MIMEText (text))
attachment = open(r"C:\Webdriver\ClearCoreRegression Test\TestReport\TestReport_01052016.html", "rb")
part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
part.set_payload((attachment).read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)
msg.attach(part)
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(username, password)
server.sendmail(fromaddress, toaddress, msg.as_string())
server.quit()
How can I add the file attachment to the email? Also I am getting an unresolved reference error on
encoders.encode_base64(part)
Thanks, Riaz
