You cannot use gmail account for sending emails with logging module.
It is because google requires TLS connection and logging module
doesn't support it. To use gmail you have to extend
logging.handlers.SMTPHandler class and override SMTPHandler.emit()
method. Here is source code.
(There really should be option to add user comments on pythons
documentation page!)
#--code--#
import logging
import logging.handlers
class TlsSMTPHandler(logging.handlers.SMTPHandler):
def emit(self, record):
"""
Emit a record.
Format the record and send it to the specified addressees.
"""
try:
import smtplib
import string # for tls add this line
try:
from email.utils import formatdate
except ImportError:
formatdate = self.date_time
port = self.mailport
if not port:
port = smtplib.SMTP_PORT
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(self.mailhost, port)
msg = self.format(record)
msg = "From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\nDate: %s\r\n\r
\n%s" % (
self.fromaddr,
string.join(self.toaddrs, ","),
self.getSubject(record),
formatdate(), msg)
if self.username:
smtp.ehlo() # for tls add this line
smtp.starttls() # for tls add this line
smtp.ehlo() # for tls add this line
smtp.login(self.username, self.password)
smtp.sendmail(self.fromaddr, self.toaddrs, msg)
smtp.quit()
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
raise
except:
self.handleError(record)
logger = logging.getLogger()
gm = TlsSMTPHandler(("smtp.gmail.com", 587), 'b...@my_company.com',
['ad...@my_company.com'], 'Error found!',
('my_company_acco...@gmail.com', 'top_secret_gmail_password'))
gm.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
logger.addHandler(gm)
try:
1/0
except:
logger.exception('FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-')
