python read outlook emails with oauth2

I've been using basic auth to log in to my outlook email with imap.
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap-mail.outlook.com")
# authenticate
imap.login(username, password)
status, messages = imap.select("INBOX")
Now that Microsoft moved to oauth2 I'm getting "Login failed" messages even although the credentials are correct.
Can anyone share a code example that connects with oauth2?
I found this guide, but it only shows the steps on the account side, not the actual connection in the app.
https://docs.emailengine.app/setting-up-oauth2-with-outlook/#:~:text=Navigate%20to%20Configuration-%3EOAuth2%20and,of%20accounts%20your%20application%20supports.
Thanks

This is my solution,
follow this guide to create an app with necessary permissions.
https://docs.emailengine.app/setting-up-oauth2-with-outlook/#:%7E:text=Navigate%20to%20Configuration-%3EOAuth2%20and,of%20accounts%20your%20application%20supports
use the following code in your app.
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(imap_host, 993)
imap.debug = 4
access_token = get_access_token_to_authenticate_imap()
imap.authenticate("XOAUTH2", lambda x:generate_auth_string(
'useremail',
access_token['access_token']))
imap.select('inbox')

Twilio Autopilot Python quickstart tutorial

I am trying to follow the following Twilio Autopilot tutorial https://www.twilio.com/docs/autopilot/quickstart/python?code-sample=code-create-your-first-assistant-with-autopilot-7&code-language=Python&code-sdk-version=6.x
I am trying to create my first assistant with autopilot and my own account_sid and auth_token.
# Download the helper library from
https://www.twilio.com/docs/python/install
from twilio.rest import Client
# Your Account Sid and Auth Token from twilio.com/console
# DANGER! This is insecure. See http://twil.io/secure
account_sid = 'ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
auth_token = 'your_auth_token'
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
assistant = client.autopilot \
.assistants \
.create(
friendly_name='Quickstart Assistant',
unique_name='quickstart-assistant'
)
print(assistant.sid)
However i receive the following error when i try execute the script.

Twilio developer evangelist here.
Did you by chance run this script more than once? The unique_name must be unique, so if you ran the script twice without changing that value, the second try would fail.
I tried running the code example you posted (with my own account credentials), and it worked the first time but failed the second time with the same exact error message you got (35002). Changing the unique_name value to quickstart-assistant-2, the script ran successfully again.
If you can log in to Twilio, you should be able to see the list of autopilot assistants you have created, which would tell you if you were able to create the assistant successfully on the first try.
Let me know if you have any additional questions or issues.

Sending email using python script from an Azure server

Using a python script, I am trying to send an email.
The mail part of the script looks like -
import smtplib
sender = 'abc.xyz#company.com'
receiver = 'abc.xyz#company.com'
message = """From: From Person <abc.xyz#company.com>
To: To Person <abc.xyz#company.com>
Subject: Inbound Folder Check - Alert
Unchanged even after an hour, please check
"""
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com',587)
smtpObj.starttls()
smtpObj.login('def#company.onmicrosoft.com','Password')
smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receiver, message)
The error that I am getting is -
raise SMTPDataError(code, resp) smtplib.SMTPDataError: (554, b'5.2.0

Only help I got on the internet was from the page - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3132755/554-5-2-0-storedrv-deliver-exception-objectnotfoundexception-mapiexcep
And it seems to say clutter is enabled but the folder is not present in the mailbox and suggests to turn off the clutter option which didn’t help.
PS - This works from my local machine within my company network but it is something to do with running it from Azure server.

First of all, please follow the offical document How to set up a multifunction device or application to send email using Office 365 to make sure whether set up correctly.
Secondly, if you were using Azure VM to send mail via SMTP, you can refer to this document Understand outbound SMTP problems in Azure VMs to try to fix your issue.
Meanwhile, for coding, there are some resources that may helps.
Python: Send Email via Office 365
Send email on App Service using Office 365 (O365) in PHP
Sending email from an Azure App Service using an O365 SMTP server in C#
Or using some packages directly like python-o365: GitHub and PyPI.
Finally, there is a service named SendGrid which be used for email service. You can use it to send mail in your scenario on Azure, please refer to the offical tutorial to know How to Send Email Using SendGrid with Azure (C#). For Python, you can code via its REST API or sendgrid python library.

Google App Engine 1.7.6 Remote API error

Prior to the 1.7.6 dev server update, I was able to use /_ah/remote_api to upload test data to my dev server having to go through the authentication process by not entering a username and password (hitting return twice). Since the update, this now continuously asks for a username and password, regardless of what I put in - often says error incorrect username or password. I am currently targeting localhost:8080,
def auth_func():
return (raw_input('Username:'), getpass.getpass('Password:'))
remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApi(None, '/_ah/remote_api', auth_func,
'localhost:8080')
though there are two new servers including the API server and the admin server. Has anyone else encountered this? if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks!
Jon

Apparently thanks to Tim - If you use the new dev_appserver then you need to sepecify a email like looking username and a single character as a password on the local development server in order for it to accept and move past the login stage.

Google Appengine sending emails: [Error] unauthorized sender

I'm trying to use google app engine's mail service on my site. It's showing some error whenever I visit the page that sends the email. The error says that I am using an unauthorized sender for the message. Here's the code that sends the email:
mail.send_mail(sender="myapp#appspot.gserviceaccount.com",
to=input_dict["email"],
subject="Mondays user activation",
body=content)
When I try out the site locally (using dev_appserver.py) it doesn't show the error, but it doesn't send the email (Note: I have to add the --enable_sendmail option when I try it locally). The error only shows up when I publish the site.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!

What is myapp#appspot.gserviceaccount.com? You might not be able to send mail from that address.
App Engine applications can send email messages on behalf of the app's
administrators, and on behalf of users with Google Accounts.
The email address of the sender, the From address. The sender address
must be one of the following types:
The address of a registered administrator for the application. You can add administrators to an application using the Administration
Console.
The address of the user for the current request signed in with a Google Account. You can determine the current user's email address
with the Users API. The user's account must be a Gmail account, or be
on a domain managed by Google Apps.
Any valid email receiving address for the app (such as xxx#APP-ID.appspotmail.com).
Any valid email receiving address of a domain account, such as support#example.com. Domain accounts are accounts outside of the
Google domain with email addresses that do not end in #gmail.com or
#APP-ID.appspotmail.com.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/sendingmail

First follow these steps
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/#who_can_send_mail
Then you need to manually add the sender email in cloud console
How to add an authorized sender

You may also have to add the email address you which to send the email from to the App Engine application settings Email API authorized senders.
See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/#Python_Sending_mail
