I am trying to send an email using MIME
in python. Below is the code I am using :
from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart try: raw_data = request.get_json() pwd_email_id = raw_data['email'] log.error("Sending email to {}".format(pwd_email_id)) recipients = pwd_email_id msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['Subject'] = 'App Registered' msg['From'] = 'xyz@gmail.com' msg['To'] = email message_text = "Dear " + pwd_email_id + "rnrnYour app has been registered successfully.rnBelow are the " "details:rnrnrn1.App Name: " + "app_name" + "rn2.App Key: " + "app_key" + "rn3.Registered Date: " + "registered_date" + "rn4.Expiry Date: " + "expiry_date" + "rnrnrnUse app name and app key as headers to make calls to services. " "Do not share your app key with anyone.rnLet us know if you face any issues.rnrnThanks " text = MIMEText(message_text) msg.attach(text) s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) s.ehlo() s.starttls() s.ehlo() s.login('xyz@gmail.com', '<password>') s.sendmail("xyz@gmail.com", recipients, msg.as_string()) s.quit() except Exception as e: log.error("Exception in sending email {}".format(e))
but its giving me the below error:
module email has no attribute encode
at line:
s.sendmail("xyz@gmail.com", recipients, msg.as_bytes())
I am not able to understand why its giving this error. I have tried only using msg
instead of msg.as_bytes()
but its still the same. Can anyone please point out the issue in the code. Thanks

Looks like a typo to me.
You have assigned the module email
when calling msg['To'] = email
. That module must have been imported outside of the shared code (check your imports, it’s probably there!). msg.as_string()
is simply having trouble parsing the module object (since modules don’t have the encode
attribute).
