I am having problems understanding how to email an attachment using Python. I have successfully emailed simple messages with the smtplib. Could someone please explain how to send an attachment in an email. I know there are other posts online but as a Python beginner I find them hard to understand.

Here's another:
import smtplib from os.path import basename from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate def send_mail(send_from, send_to, subject, text, files=None, server="127.0.0.1"): assert isinstance(send_to, 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 or []: with open(f, "rb") as fil: part = MIMEApplication( fil.read(), Name=basename(f) ) # After the file is closed part['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % basename(f) msg.attach(part) smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server) smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string()) smtp.close() It's much the same as the first example... But it should be easier to drop in.
25Here is the modified version from Oli for python 3
import smtplib from pathlib import Path from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.base import MIMEBase from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate from email import encoders def send_mail(send_from, send_to, subject, message, files=[], server="localhost", port=587, username='', password='', use_tls=True): """Compose and send email with provided info and attachments. Args: send_from (str): from name send_to (list[str]): to name(s) subject (str): message title message (str): message body files (list[str]): list of file paths to be attached to email server (str): mail server host name port (int): port number username (str): server auth username password (str): server auth password use_tls (bool): use TLS mode """ msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = send_from msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(send_to) msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime=True) msg['Subject'] = subject msg.attach(MIMEText(message)) for path in files: part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream") with open(path, 'rb') as file: part.set_payload(file.read()) encoders.encode_base64(part) part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename={}'.format(Path(path).name)) msg.attach(part) smtp = smtplib.SMTP(server, port) if use_tls: smtp.starttls() smtp.login(username, password) smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string()) smtp.quit() This is the code I ended up using:
import smtplib from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email import Encoders SUBJECT = "Email Data" msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['Subject'] = SUBJECT msg['From'] = self.EMAIL_FROM msg['To'] = ', '.join(self.EMAIL_TO) part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream") part.set_payload(open("text.txt", "rb").read()) Encoders.encode_base64(part) part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="text.txt"') msg.attach(part) server = smtplib.SMTP(self.EMAIL_SERVER) server.sendmail(self.EMAIL_FROM, self.EMAIL_TO, msg.as_string()) Code is much the same as Oli's post.
Code based from Binary file email attachment problem post.
3from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage import smtplib msg = MIMEMultipart() msg.attach(MIMEText(file("text.txt").read())) msg.attach(MIMEImage(file("image.png").read())) # to send mailer = smtplib.SMTP() mailer.connect() mailer.sendmail(from_, to, msg.as_string()) mailer.close() Adapted from here.
8Another way with python 3 (If someone is searching):
import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.base import MIMEBase from email import encoders fromaddr = "sender mail address" toaddr = "receiver mail address" msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = fromaddr msg['To'] = toaddr msg['Subject'] = "SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL" body = "TEXT YOU WANT TO SEND" msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain')) filename = "fileName" attachment = open("path of file", "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.starttls() server.login(fromaddr, "sender mail password") text = msg.as_string() server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text) server.quit() Make sure to allow “less secure apps” on your Gmail account
0Gmail version, working with Python 3.6 (note that you will need to change your Gmail settings to be able to send email via smtp from it:
import smtplib from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication from os.path import basename def send_mail(send_from: str, subject: str, text: str, send_to: list, files= None): send_to= default_address if not send_to else send_to msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = send_from msg['To'] = ', '.join(send_to) msg['Subject'] = subject msg.attach(MIMEText(text)) for f in files or []: with open(f, "rb") as fil: ext = f.split('.')[-1:] attachedfile = MIMEApplication(fil.read(), _subtype = ext) attachedfile.add_header( 'content-disposition', 'attachment', filename=basename(f) ) msg.attach(attachedfile) smtp = smtplib.SMTP(host="smtp.gmail.com", port= 587) smtp.starttls() smtp.login(username,password) smtp.sendmail(send_from, send_to, msg.as_string()) smtp.close() Usage:
username = '' password = 'top-secret' default_address = [''] send_mail(send_from= username, subject="test", text="text", send_to= None, files= # pass a list with the full filepaths here... ) To use with any other email provider, just change the smtp configurations.
The simplest code I could get to is:
#for attachment email from django.core.mail import EmailMessage def attachment_email(request): email = EmailMessage( 'Hello', #subject 'Body goes here', #body '', #from [''], #to [''], #bcc reply_to=[''], headers={'Message-ID': 'foo'}, ) email.attach_file('/my/path/file') email.send() It was based on the official Django documentation
5Other answers are excellent, though I still wanted to share a different approach in case someone is looking for alternatives.
Main difference here is that using this approach you can use HTML/CSS to format your message, so you can get creative and give some styling to your email. Though you aren't enforced to use HTML, you can also still use only plain text.
Notice that this function accepts sending the email to multiple recipients and also allows to attach multiple files.
I've only tried this on Python 2, but I think it should work fine on 3 as well:
import os.path import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication def send_email(subject, message, from_email, to_email=[], attachment=[]): """ :param subject: email subject :param message: Body content of the email (string), can be HTML/CSS or plain text :param from_email: Email address from where the email is sent :param to_email: List of email recipients, example: ["", ""] :param attachment: List of attachments, exmaple: ["file1.txt", "file2.txt"] """ msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['Subject'] = subject msg['From'] = from_email msg['To'] = ", ".join(to_email) msg.attach(MIMEText(message, 'html')) for f in attachment: with open(f, 'rb') as a_file: basename = os.path.basename(f) part = MIMEApplication(a_file.read(), Name=basename) part['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % basename msg.attach(part) email = smtplib.SMTP('your-smtp-host-name.com') email.sendmail(from_email, to_email, msg.as_string()) I hope this helps! :-)
from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart import smtplib import mimetypes import email.mime.application smtp_ssl_host = 'smtp.gmail.com' # smtp.mail.yahoo.com smtp_ssl_port = 465 s = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(smtp_ssl_host, smtp_ssl_port) s.login(email_user, email_pass) msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['Subject'] = 'I have a picture' msg['From'] = email_user msg['To'] = email_user txt = MIMEText('I just bought a new camera.') msg.attach(txt) filename = 'introduction-to-algorithms-3rd-edition-sep-2010.pdf' #path to file fo=open(filename,'rb') attach = email.mime.application.MIMEApplication(fo.read(),_subtype="pdf") fo.close() attach.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment',filename=filename) msg.attach(attach) s.send_message(msg) s.quit() For explanation, you can use this link it explains properly
0from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.image import MIMEImage from email.mime.text import MIMEText import smtplib msg = MIMEMultipart() password = "password" msg['From'] = "from_address" msg['To'] = "to_address" msg['Subject'] = "Attached Photo" msg.attach(MIMEImage(file("abc.jpg").read())) file = "file path" fp = open(file, 'rb') img = MIMEImage(fp.read()) fp.close() msg.attach(img) server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com: 587') server.starttls() server.login(msg['From'], password) server.sendmail(msg['From'], msg['To'], msg.as_string()) server.quit() I know this is an old question but I thought there must be an easier way of doing this than the other examples, thus I made a library that solves this cleanly without polluting your codebase. Including attachments is super easy:
from redmail import EmailSender from pathlib import Path # Configure an email sender email = EmailSender( host="<SMTP HOST>", port=0, user_name="", password="<PASSWORD>" ) # Send an email email.send( sender="", receivers=[""], subject="An example email" attachments={ "myfile.txt": Path("path/to/a_file.txt"), "myfile.html": "<h1>Content of a HTML attachment</h1>" } ) You may also directly attach bytes, a Pandas DataFrame (which is converted to format depending on file extension in the key), a Matplotlib Figure or a Pillow Image. The library is most likely all the features you need for an email sender (has a lot more than attachments).
To install:
pip install redmail Use it any way you like. I also wrote extensive documentation:
4Because there are many answers here for Python 3, but none which show how to use the overhauled email library from Python 3.6, here is a quick copy+paste from the current email examples documentation. (I have abridged it somewhat to remove frills like guessing the correct MIME type.)
Modern code which targets Python >3.5 should no longer use the email.message.Message API (including the various MIMEText, MIMEMultipart, MIMEBase etc classes) or the even older mimetypes mumbo jumbo.
from email.message import EmailMessage import smtplib msg = EmailMessage() msg["Subject"] = "Our family reunion" msg["From"] = "me <>" msg["To"] = "recipient <>" # definitely don't mess with the .preamble msg.set_content("Hello, victim!") with open("path/to/attachment.png", "rb") as fp: msg.add_attachment( fp.read(), maintype="image", subtype="png") # Notice how smtplib now includes a send_message() method with smtplib.SMTP('localhost') as s: s.send_message(msg) The modern email.message.EmailMessage API is now quite a bit more versatile and logical than the older version of the library. There are still a few kinks around the presentation in the documentation (it's not obvious how to change the Content-Disposition: of an attachment, for example; and the discussion of the policy module is probably too obscure for most newcomers) and fundamentally, you still need to have some sort of idea of what the MIME structure should look like. Perhaps see What are the "parts" in a multipart email? for a brief introduction.
Using localhost as your SMTP server obviously only works if you actually have an SMTP server running on your local computer. Properly getting email off your system is a fairly complex separate questions. For simple requirements, probably use your existing email account and your provider's email server (search for examples of using port 587 with Google, Yahoo, or whatever you have; what exactly works depends somewhat on the provider; some will only support port 465, or legacy port 25 which is however now by and large impossible to use on public-facing servers because of spam filtering).
None of the currently given answers here will work correctly with non-ASCII symbols in filenames with clients like GMail, Outlook 2016, and others that don't support RFC 2231 (e.g., see here). The Python 3 code below is adapted from some other stackoverflow answers (sorry, didn't save the origin links) and odoo/openerp code for Python 2.7 (see ir_mail_server.py). It works correctly with GMail and others, and also uses SSL.

set your gmail address at "YOUR SMTP EMAIL HERE"
set your gmail account password at "YOUR SMTP PASSWORD HERE_"
In the ___EMAIL TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE_ part you need to set the destination email address.
Alarm notification is the subject,
Someone has entered the room, picture attached is the body
["/home/pi/webcam.jpg"] is an image attachment.
