I've found a solution for sending multi-part emails (text & html) and
even embedded images.
In your controller (or a custom module)
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage
#helper function to build a multi-part mime email
def _multipart_email(sender, recipient, subject, message_text,
message_html, attach_image):
#Taken from http://code.activestate.com/recipes/473810/ with very
minor changes
# Define these once; use them twice!
strFrom = sender
strTo = recipient
# Create the root message and fill in the from, to, and subject
headers
msgRoot = MIMEMultipart('related')
msgRoot['Subject'] = subject
msgRoot['From'] = strFrom
msgRoot['To'] = strTo
msgRoot.preamble = 'This is a multi-part message in MIME format.'
# Encapsulate the plain and HTML versions of the message body in
an
# 'alternative' part, so message agents can decide which they want
to display.
msgAlternative = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msgRoot.attach(msgAlternative)
msgText = MIMEText(message_text)
msgAlternative.attach(msgText)
# We reference the image in the IMG SRC attribute by the ID we
give it below
msgText = MIMEText(message_html, 'html')
msgAlternative.attach(msgText)
if attach_image:
# This example assumes the image is in the current directory
or you've passed the full path
fp = open(attach_image, 'rb')
msgImage = MIMEImage(fp.read())
fp.close()
#you can refer to this image as <img src="cid:image1"> in your
html message.
# Define the image's ID as referenced above
msgImage.add_header('Content-ID', '<image1>')
msgRoot.attach(msgImage)
return msgRoot
In your controller:
#visit this page and you'll get an email
def email():
host = 'smtp.gmail.com' #your mail server
port = 587 #port if non-standard
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP(host, port)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(username, password)
context=dict(name='John Doe', ship_date='July 15,
2009',amount_owed=25.50,num_items=2)
#use web2py views to get an html and plain text version of the
message
message_html=response.render('default/
email_template.html',context) #template for the html version
message_text = response.render('default/
email_template.txt',context) #template for the text only version
sender = 'y...@notspamming.com'
recipient = 'custo...@host.com'
subject = "We've shipped your order"
#build the multi-part MIME message
message = _multipart_email(sender, recipient, subject,
message_text, message_html, 'image.jpg')
#and send it
server.sendmail(sender, recipient, message.as_string())
server.quit()
print message
return dict(status='email
sent',to=recipient,subject=subject,message=message.as_string())
Perhaps someone else here can use this and maybe even integrate it
into web2py in a more standard way.
