I have a script that runs main()
and at the end I want to send the contents it has by e-mail. I don't want to write new files nor anything. Just have the original script be unmodified and at the end just send the contents of what it printed. Ideal code:
main()send_mail()
I tried this:
def main(): print('HELLOWORLD')def send_email(subject='subject', message='', destination='me@gmail.com', password_path=None): from socket import gethostname from email.message import EmailMessage import smtplib import json import sys server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) smtplib.stdout = sys.stdout # <<<<<-------- why doesn't it work? server.starttls() with open(password_path) as f: config = json.load(f) server.login('me@gmail.com', config['password']) # craft message msg = EmailMessage() #msg.set_content(message) msg['Subject'] = subject msg['From'] = 'me@gmail.com' msg['To'] = destination # send msg server.send_message(msg)if __name__ == '__main__': main() send_mail()
but it doesn't work.
I don't want to write other files or change the original python print statements. How to do this?
