I am referring to email examples on the doc site
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/library/email-examples.html#email-examples
. Following is the msg object part in my code:
{{{
...
...
def sendmail(inputfile):
ipfile = open(inputfile, 'r')
msg = MIMEText(ipfile.read, 'plain')
ipfile.close()
...
...
}}}
I have tried setting subtype and chartype separately as mentioned here
- http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.6/library/email.mime.html, but
the error remains same. Any help on what might be wrong here?
The docs say:
MIMEText(_text[, _subtype[, _charset]])
... _text is the string for the payload ...
You're passing ipfile.read, which is the read method of the file. You
should be passing the string returned by calling ipfile.read, ie
ipfile.read().
