How to send email attachments with Python 3.6

would you mind helping me, please!
I use all code's from this page How to send email attachments with Python
but it didn't work =(
This is last version which i used
import smtplib
from smtplib import SMTP_SSL
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email import encoders
import os
filepath = 'D:/files/1.jpg'
fromaddr = "name#gmail.com"
toaddr = "name2#gmail.com"
password = '********'
mail_adr = 'smtp.gmail.com'
mail_port = 587
# Compose attachment
part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream")
part.set_payload(open(filepath, "rb").read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % os.path.basename(filepath))
# Compose message
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = fromaddr
msg['To'] = toaddr
msg.attach(part)
# Send mail
smtp = SMTP_SSL()
smtp.set_debuglevel(1)
smtp.connect(mail_adr, mail_port)
smtp.login(fromaddr, password)
smtp.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, msg.as_string())
smtp.quit()
and here are the errors I fall
connect: ('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
connect: ('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Have you tried emailpy? (I am the author)
It supports any attachment format unless your email provider restricts it.
Example:
import emailpy
emailManager = emailpy.EmailManager('yourcooladdress#domain.com', 'youremailpassword') # this may take a few seconds to generate
emailManager.send(['sendsomething#gmail.com', 'anotheremail#hotmail.com'], \
subject = 'Subject here', body = 'body text here', html = 'some html here', \
attachments = ['file1.png', 'file2.txt', 'file3.py'], \
nofileattach = {'file.txt': 'hi, this is some data'})
# send email to sendsomething#gmail.com and anotheremail#hotmail.com with subject "Subject here"
#, body "body text here", html "some html here", and some attachments:
# "file1.png", "file2.txt", "file3.py". Also, it adds a file called file.txt
# that has the contents "hi, this is some data"
The emailpy docs can either be downloaded on its PyPI page, or from here
All email servers have been successfully tested with emailpy, and there will be no errors with emailpy if you use it on python 3.x (emailpy is not supported in python 2, mainly because of the syntax)

Unable to send mail using python with multiple attachment and multiple recipients [to,cc,bcc]

Below is my code. It is unable to send mail somewhere at parsing level. Not able to understand the actual issue. OS is Ubuntu 14.04 Server provided by AWS. It has to send email with two attachments.
import smtplib
import sys
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
fromaddr = "user#comany.com"
toaddr = str(sys.argv[1]).split(",")
ccaddr = str(sys.argv[2]).split(",")
bccaddr = str(sys.argv[3]).split(",")
subject = None
body = None
print sys.argv
with open("subject.txt") as f1:
subject = f1.read()
with open("body.txt") as f2:
body = f2.read()
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = fromaddr
msg['To'] = toaddr
msg['Cc'] = ccaddr
msg['Bcc'] = bccaddr
msg['Subject'] = subject.replace("DD",str(sys.argv[4])[6:2]).replace("MM",str(sys.argv[4])[4:2]).replace("YYYY",str(sys.argv[4])[0:4])
body = body.replace("DD",str(sys.argv[4])[6:2]).replace("MM",str(sys.argv[4])[4:2]).replace("YYYY",str(sys.argv[4])[0:4])
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
for filename in str(sys.argv[5]).split(";"):
attachment = open(filename, "rb")
part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
part.set_payload((attachment).read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)
msg.attach(part)
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.ehlo()
server.login(fromaddr, "password")
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, msg.as_string())
server.quit()
Here is the error:
File "send_mail.py", line 49, in <module>
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, msg.as_string())
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/message.py", line 137, in as_string

Try it with yagmail. Disclaimer: I'm the developer of yagmail.
import yagmail
yag = yagmail.SMTP("user#comany.com", "password")
yag.send(toaddrs, subject, body, str(sys.argv[5]).split(";"), ccaddrs, bccaddrs)
# ^ to ^subject ^ body ^ attachments ^ cc ^ bcc
It's pretty much "Do What I Want", you can provide lists of strings or a single string, even omit any arguments, and it will be sensible. Another cool thing is that the attachments here is a list of strings; where each will be tried to be loaded as file (with correct mimetype).
Use pip install yagmail to install

I had the same problem when I tried to feed a list in to msg['To']. I changed the list to string and I got rid of the problem. ['test#my.com', 'another#my.com'] => 'test#my.com, another#my.com'

Python SMTP error: "(10013, 'Permission denied')"

So I have this Python send-email file that sends an email (the text from a file) to a recipient specified inside the code:
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msgContent = open(Sourcefilelocation, "rb")
msg = MIMEText(spam.read())
msgContent.close()
msg['Subject'] = SUBJECT
msg['From'] = FROM_CLIENT_EMAIL
msg['To'] = TO_CLIENT_EMAIL
#THE ERROR BELOW
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
I understand that there is no mail server on localhost, but how do I make a mail server on that and if I can't then why does s = smtplib.SMTP('gmail.com') take so long if it even works? What do I need to make it work? Any help is appreciated.
output: >> Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#24>", line 1, in <module>
s = smtplib.SMTP('gmail.com')
File "C:\Python25\lib\smtplib.py", line 244, in __init__
(code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)
File "C:\Python25\lib\smtplib.py", line 310, in connect
raise socket.error, msg
error: (10013, 'Permission denied')
And the gmail smtp code takes too long.

SSL Error while Sending Email with Python (Raspbian OS)

I just write this code in Python under Raspbian OS:
import smtplib
fromaddr = '*****#hotmail.de'
toaddrs = '*****#hotmail.de'
msg = 'Testmail'
username = '*****#hotmail.de'
password = '*****'
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.live.com',587)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(username, password)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
server.quit()
And get following Error-Message:
python ail.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ail.py", line 14, in <module>
server.login(username, password)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 601, in login

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 385, in docmd
return self.getreply()

+ str(e))
smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: Connection unexpectedly closed: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:1359:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
What is my fault? Could somebody help me - please?
Regards

After I've signed in on http://live.com and validated my account; your code worked as is on Ubuntu python 2.7 and python3.3:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""Send email via live.com."""
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.header import Header
login, password = ...
msg = MIMEText(u'body…', 'plain', 'utf-8')
msg['Subject'] = Header(u'subject…', 'utf-8')
msg['From'] = login
recipients = [login]
msg['To'] = ", ".join(recipients)
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.live.com', 587, timeout=10)
s.set_debuglevel(1)
try:
s.starttls()
s.login(login, password)
s.sendmail(msg['From'], recipients, msg.as_string())
finally:
s.quit()
Check whether openssl can connect to it (ca-certificates is installed and it is not this bug):
$ openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect smtp.live.com:587
If it is successful; you could replace smtplib.SMTP.starttls() method (in a subclass) to set appropriate ssl parameters.

Emailing smtp with Python error

I can't figure out why this isn't working. I'm trying to send an email from my school email address with this code I got online. The same code works for sending from my GMail address. Does anyone know what this error means? The error occurs after waiting for about one and a half minutes.
import smtplib
FROMADDR = "FROM_EMAIL"
LOGIN = "USERNAME"
PASSWORD = "PASSWORD"
TOADDRS = ["TO_EMAIL"]
SUBJECT = "Test"
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\r\n"
% (FROMADDR, ", ".join(TOADDRS), SUBJECT) )
msg += "some text\r\n"
server = smtplib.SMTP('OUTGOING_SMTP', 465)
server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
server.sendmail(FROMADDR, TOADDRS, msg)
server.quit()
And here's the error I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "emailer.py", line 13, in
server = smtplib.SMTP('OUTGOING_SMTP', 465)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/smtplib.py", line 239, in init

It's likely that your school's SMTP server does not permit outside access to port 587. Gmail does, and requires authentication to ensure that you are who you say you are (and so that spammers can't send email appearing to be from you unless they know your password). Your school may have chosen to set up their mail server so that only connections from within the school can send mail in this way.
