I'm writing a python script to send email. Right now it is sending an excel file as an attachment, but instead I want to send the email with the body having the contents of the excel file. Like copying the contents of the excel file with color, formatting etc. and the pasting it in the email body. How do I do that?
My python script is below:
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7
import smtplib,email,email.encoders,email.mime.text,email.mime.base
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
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.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import schedule
import time
msg = MIMEMultipart()
# me == my email address
# you == recipient's email address
me = "abc@something.com"
you = "abc@something.com"
# Create message container - the correct MIME type is multipart/alternative.
msg = MIMEMultipart('mixed')
msg['Subject'] = "Automation Testing"
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = you
# Create the body of the message (a plain-text and an HTML version).
text = "Hi\n\nPlease find attached the weekly report."
part1 = MIMEText(text, 'plain')
#attach an excel file:
fp = open('/Users/excel.xlsm', 'rb')
file1=email.mime.base.MIMEBase('application','vnd.ms-excel')
file1.set_payload(fp.read())
fp.close()
email.encoders.encode_base64(file1)
file1.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment;filename=excelsheet.xlsx')
# Attach parts into message container.
# According to RFC 2046, the last part of a multipart message, in this case
# the HTML message, is best and preferred.
msg.attach(part1)
msg.attach(file1)
composed = msg.as_string()
fp = open('msgtest.txt', 'w')
fp.write(composed)
# Credentials (if needed)
# The actual mail send
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.something.com', 259)
server.starttls()
server.sendmail(me, you, composed)
server.quit()
fp.close()
