Question

I am trying to write a command but I do not want one long line that looks untidy. I am looking to add the strings together to be executed as on command. I have some code below which is part of an email function:

msg = MIMEText("The nightly build status was a SUCCESS\n\nBuild File: http://www.python.org\n\n Build Results File: http://10.51.54.57/sandboxes/", project, "\n")

This shows the one line, I am hoping for a better way to do this. I have tried the below code but it does not work.

msg = MIMEText("The nightly build status was a SUCCESS\n\nBuild File: ")
msg += MIMEText("http://www.python.org\n\n Build Results File: ")
msg += MIMEText("http://10.51.54.57/sandboxes/", project, "\n")

Thanks for any help.

I have tried the below code but get:

msg = MIMEText("""The nightly build status was a SUCCESS\n\n
   Build File: """,  
   build_file, """
   \n\n 
   Build Results File: """, 
   build_file, """
   \n\n
   Sandbox Folder:""", 
   sandbox, """ 
   \n\n
   Antibrick File: """,
   antibrick, "\n\n")

Now I get the message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_email.py", line 45, in <module>
    if __name__ == '__main__': myObject = email_success()
  File "test_email.py", line 32, in email_success
    antibrick, "\n\n")
TypeError: __init__() takes at most 4 arguments (10 given)

Any ideas?

Thanks S.Mark, I tried this but when the email is sent it is not as a hyperlink but sent as:

The nightly build status was a SUCCESS


Build File: ('http://10.67.54.57/sandboxes/', '2010-01-05/new_sandbox', 'basebuild') 



Build Results File: ('http://10.67.54.57/sandboxes/', '2010-01-05/new_sandbox', 'basebuild') 



Sandbox Folder: ('http://10.67.54.57/sandboxes/', '2010-01-05/new_sandbox')  



Antibrick File: 

Answer 1

How about

msg = MIMEText(
"The nightly build status was a SUCCESS\n\n"
"Build File: http://www.python.org\n\n"
"Build Results File: http://10.51.54.57/sandboxes/"
, project
, "\n"
)

Or

msg = MIMEText("""The nightly build status was a SUCCESS

Build File: http://www.python.org

Build Results File: http://10.51.54.57/sandboxes/""", project, "\n")

Or

msg = MIMEText("The nightly build status was a SUCCESS\n\n"
"Build File: http://www.python.org\n\n"
"Build Results File: http://10.51.54.57/sandboxes/"
, project, "\n")

UPDATE: because OP added another question

msg=MIMEText("""The nightly build status was a SUCCESS\n\n
    Build File: %s
    \n\n 
    Build Results File: %s
    \n\n
    Sandbox Folder: %s 
    \n\n
    Antibrick File: """ % (build_file,build_file,sandbox),
    antibrick, 
    "\n\n"
)
