Hi,
I am writing this program from
https://docs.python.org/2/library/email-examples.html
but getting the error as
singhom@debian:~/pythons$ python send_email.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "send_email.py", line 18, in <module>
msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of $s' % message
NameError: name 'message' is not defined
i know the error would be something simple and i am overlooking it, any
help would be highly appreciated, I am sorry, but I am very new to
python programming.
code starts here.
#/usr/bin/python2.7 -tt
## sending a simple text message using python.
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
# Open file for reading.
fp = open("message", 'rb')
# Create a plain text message.
msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
fp.close
That should be:
fp.close()
me = "torque.in...@gmail.com"
you = "oomprak...@gmail.com"
msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of $s' % message
You're trying to use the format operator, but:
1. You never bound the name 'message' to a value, hence:
NameError: name 'message' is not defined
2. The format string contains '$s' instead of '%s'.
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = you
# Send message thorugh localhost but don't include the envelope headers.
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
s.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
s.quit()
Thanks a lot. will fix this and my overlooking of things too. :)
