I am trying to get only text files and images from a folder be sent as an attachment so far I can only get it to work with one extension and I tried this below but it doesnt work

types = ('*.txt', '*.png')
files =glob.glob( os.path.join(path,types))

for f in files:
    part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")
    part.set_payload( open(f,"rb").read() )
    Encoders.encode_base64(part)
    part.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(f))
    msg.attach(part)

I got the following errors

files =glob.glob( os.path.join(path,types))
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 73, in join
    elif isabs(b):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 58, in isabs
    return s != '' and s[:1] in '/\\'
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not tuple

Did you try passing it each string in turn? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 14 '17 at 04:33
This isn't how you use glob... – cs95 Dec 14 '17 at 04:33
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams do you mean like this files =glob.glob( os.path.join(path,'*.txt', '*.png')) – A.Ban Dec 14 '17 at 04:38
@cᴏʟᴅsᴘᴇᴇᴅ what is the correct way? – A.Ban Dec 14 '17 at 04:39
Erm, no. To `glob.glob()`. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 14 '17 at 04:39
