  • 0

I have a web.py project with a notice module – the system will notice users by sending an email with HTML format .

I know how to send HTML format email in python .(Also desc in this Q sendmail with HTML message) , and also know the sendmail() funciton in web.py (version 0.37).

import web

web.config.smtp_server = 'smtp.gmail.com' 
web.config.smtp_port = 587                
web.config.smtp_username = 'goooooooooooooogle@gmail.com' 
web.config.smtp_password = '*********'    
web.config.smtp_starttls = True

web.sendmail('goooooooooooooogle@gmail.com',['1361877@gmail.com'],'Hello nodexy','This email is from web.py !')

I expect :

web.sendmail('goooooooooooooogle@gmail.com',['1361877@gmail.com'],'Hello nodexy', '<html><img src="hello.png"/></html>')

Now how can I fix this in web.py ? I’m sure I can not set the HTML string to the sendmail() function .

    send html mail, add a key to headers: 

    web.sendmail(from_address, to_address, subject, msg, headers={'Content-Type':'text/html;charset=utf-8'})

    in web.py utils.py, see _EmailMessage’s prepare_message method:

    def prepare_message(self):
    for k, v in self.headers.iteritems():
        if k.lower() == "content-type":
            self.message.set_type(v)
        else:
            self.message.add_header(k, v)

    self.headers = {}
