I'm creating this project with my daughter to use with a
smart bird feeder we are building together and this segment is
holding us back and we just can't figure out what we're doing wrong.
We are doing this all on a raspberry pi using vi as our editor.
So, I am reaching out to the wider python3 community to see if we could get help and
and learn something at the same time.
Thank you in advance for any help you could render.
Here is the code I've created so far:
import email, smtplib, ssl
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
# 465 for SSL or 587 for starttls
ssl_port = 465
starttls_port = 587
smtp_server = "smtp.gmail.com"
# Pull these two in from another module.
sender_email = "*****@gmail.com"
sender_password = "********"
reciever_email = "*****@gmail.com"
message = MIMEMultipart("alternative")
message["Subject"] = "multipart test"
message["From"] = sender_email
message["To"] = reciever_email
# For text email message.
text = """\Hi, did this work? Just wanted to test this emailer out, thanks!"""
# For html email message.
html = """\
<html>
<body>
<p>Hi,<br>
did this work?<br>
Just wanted to test this emailer out, thanks!<br>

# Turn these into plain/html MIMEText objects.
part1 = MIMEText(text, "plain")
part2 = MIMEText(html, "html")
# Add HTML/plain-text parts to MIMEMultipart message
# The email client will try to render the last part first.
message.attach(part1)
message.attach(part2)
# Create a secure SSL context and email
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL(smtp_server, ssl_port, context=context) as server:
server.login(sender_email, sender_password)
server.sendmail(sender_email, reciever_email, message.as_string())
# Try to log into server and send email.
try:
server = smtplib.SMTP()
server.connect(smtp_server, starttls_port)
server.starttls(context=context) # Secure the connection
server.login(sender_email, sender_password)
server.sendmail(sender_email, reciever_email, message)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
finally:
server.quit()
I keep getting the the following error:
File ".\emailer_test.py", line 58
server.connect(smtp_server, starttls_port)
