- I am attempting to run a python script that automates sending emails with attachments
Here's the code
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
def gmail_login(username, password):
smtp_server_name = "smtp.gmail.com"
port_number = 587
server = smtplib.SMTP(host=smtp_server_name, port=port_number)
server.connect(host=smtp_server_name, port=port_number)
server.starttls()
server.login(user=username, password=password)
return server
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = "Test Mail"
msg['From'] = 'myemail@gmail.com'
msg['To'] = 'email@gmail.com'
msg['Bcc'] = ''
#Create mail body message for email
body ="""
Dear All, <br><br> Please find attachment
"""
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'html'))
#Create Attachment
file_path = ("C:\Users\thisuser\Desktop\FinalDetection\detections2.csv")
file_name = "detections2.csv"
file = open(file_path+"\\"+file_name, "rb")
payload = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
payload.set_payload(file.read())
file.close()
encoders.encode_base_base64(payload)
payload.add_header('Content_Disposition', 'attachment', filename=file_name)
msg.attach(payload)
server = gmail_login(username='myemail@gmail.com', password='password')
server.send_message(msg)
server.quit()
print("Email has been sent with an attachment")
Here's the error I receive
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX
Any help is appreciated greatly.
