Django: Send email with attachment

Usually send_mail() will suffice for most emailing functionality, but when you need to attach something, the helpful Django wrapper function won't allow it.

If you need to add attachments to your emails, you'll have to go deeper.

Alright, down to the nitty gritty.

view sourceprint?

01.from django.core.mail.message import EmailMessage

02. 

03.email = EmailMessage()

04.email.subject = "New shirt submitted"

05.email.body = html_message

06.email.from_email = "ThatAwesomeShirt! <no-reply@thatawesomeshirt.com>"

07.email.to = [ "somefakeaddress@hotmail.com", ] <p></p>

08. 

09.email.attach_file("hellokitty.jpg") # Attach a file directly

10. 

11.# Or alternatively, if you want to attach the contents directly

12. 

13.file = open("hellokitty.jpg", "rb")

14.email.attach(filename = "hellokitty.jpg", mimetype = "image/jpeg", content = file.read())

15.file.close()

16. 

17.email.send()

And that is all folks.
