Okay, I know there is a few questions out there addressing this, but I cannot find a way to make it work properly. I would assume it is as simple as the below code, but this does not attach my file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also very new to Python. Is there a mail module that I should be importing to make the function work?

import smtplib

fromaddr = "example@example.com

toaddrs = "reciever@example.com

msg = "help I cannot send an attachment to save my life"

attach = ("csvonDesktp.csv")

username = user

password = password

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')

server.starttls()

server.login(username,password)

server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg, attach)

server.quit()

Send a multipart email with the appropriate MIME types.

So possible something like this (I tested this):

import smtplib

import mimetypes

from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

from email import encoders

from email.message import Message

from email.mime.audio import MIMEAudio

from email.mime.base import MIMEBase

from email.mime.image import MIMEImage

from email.mime.text import MIMEText

emailfrom = "sender@example.com"

emailto = "destination@example.com"

fileToSend = "hi.csv"

username = "user"

password = "password"

msg = MIMEMultipart()

msg["From"] = emailfrom

msg["To"] = emailto

msg["Subject"] = "help I cannot send an attachment to save my life"

msg.preamble = "help I cannot send an attachment to save my life"

ctype, encoding = mimetypes.guess_type(fileToSend)

if ctype is None or encoding is not None:

ctype = "application/octet-stream"

maintype, subtype = ctype.split("/", 1)

if maintype == "text":

fp = open(fileToSend)

# Note: we should handle calculating the charset

attachment = MIMEText(fp.read(), _subtype=subtype)

fp.close()

elif maintype == "image":

fp = open(fileToSend, "rb")

attachment = MIMEImage(fp.read(), _subtype=subtype)

fp.close()

elif maintype == "audio":

fp = open(fileToSend, "rb")

attachment = MIMEAudio(fp.read(), _subtype=subtype)

fp.close()

else:

fp = open(fileToSend, "rb")

attachment = MIMEBase(maintype, subtype)

attachment.set_payload(fp.read())

fp.close()

encoders.encode_base64(attachment)

attachment.add_header("Content-Disposition", "attachment", filename=fileToSend)

msg.attach(attachment)

server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com:587")

server.starttls()

server.login(username,password)

server.sendmail(emailfrom, emailto, msg.as_string())

server.quit()
