email: Examples
Here are a few examples of how to use the email
package to read, write, and send simple email messages, as well as more complex MIME messages.
First, let’s see how to create and send a simple text message:
# Import smtplib for the actual sending function import smtplib # Import the email modules we'll need from email.mime.text import MIMEText # Open a plain text file for reading. For this example, assume that # the text file contains only ASCII characters. fp = open(textfile, 'rb') # Create a text/plain message msg = MIMEText(fp.read()) fp.close() # me == the sender's email address # you == the recipient's email address msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of %s' % textfile
