New submission from Baptiste Mispelon:
The first code example at
https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/email-examples.html throws an
`AttributeError` because `MIMEText`'s constructor expects a `str` object, not a
`bytes` one:
>>> # Import smtplib for the actual sending function
... import smtplib
>>>
>>> # Import the email modules we'll need
... from email.mime.text import MIMEText
>>>
>>> # Open a plain text file for reading. For this example, assume that
... # the text file contains only ASCII characters.
... fp = open(textfile, 'rb')
>>> # Create a text/plain message
... msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/email/mime/text.py", line 33, in __init__
_text.encode('us-ascii')
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'
