I am trying to call the function send_email with the variable message in it and combining it with a string contained in AlertSMSText and assigning it to text as well as html to HTMLEmailBody.

For some reason when I do text = AlertSMSText, message and it gives me the error AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'encode' but if I do text = AlertSMSText + message and html = HTMLEmailBody + message it works fine except it ignores \n contained in the string that AlertSMSText has in it.

SendEmailAlert.py

def send_email(message):
  email_subject = JSONFileReader.SubjectEmail  
  sender_add = JSONFileReader.SenderEmail  
  receiver_add = JSONFileReader.ReceiverEmail  
  smsEmail_add = JSONFileReader.SMSEmailAdd  # SMS email
  AlertSMSText = JSONFileReader.AlertSMSText #Alert SMS Text message
  HTMLEmailBody = JSONFileReader.AlertHTMLEmailBody  #Alert Email message in HTML format
  password = JSONFileReader.gmailPass  # Password for the email you're sending from

  # Below is creating the SMTP server object by giving the SMPT server an address and port number
  smtp_server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
  smtp_server.ehlo()  # setting the ESMTP protocol
  smtp_server.starttls()  # setting up to TLS connection
  smtp_server.ehlo()  # calling the ehlo() again as encryption happens on calling startttls()
  smtp_server.login(sender_add, password)  # logging into the senders email

  rcpt = smsEmail_add.split(",") + [receiver_add]  # Formats the recipients emails
  # Create message container - the correct MIME type is multipart/alternative.
  msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
  msg['Subject'] = email_subject
  msg['From'] = sender_add
  msg['To'] = receiver_add
  msg['Cc'] = smsEmail_add

  message.encode('utf-8')

  # Create the body of the message (a plain-text is for SMS and HTML is for email)
  text = AlertSMSText, message
  html = HTMLEmailBody, message


  # Record the MIME types of both parts - text/plain and text/html.
  part1 = MIMEText(text, 'plain')
  part2 = MIMEText(html, 'html')

  # Attach parts into message container.
  # According to RFC 2046, the last part of a multipart message, in this case
  # the HTML message, is best and preferred.
  msg.attach(part1)
  msg.attach(part2)

  smtp_server.sendmail(sender_add, rcpt, msg.as_string()) #Sends the email

  smtp_server.quit()  #Terminates the SMTP server

 ip= "10.1.50.2"
 send_email(ip + " is down.\n\nPlease reply with 'Ack' to pause alerts for 60 minutes")

In the JSON, the AlertSMSTextvariable equals to "Alert SMS Text": "This is an alert for your services \n\n IP: "

The output when text = AlertSMSText + message is all on one line and ignores newline \n:

This is an alert for your services IP:10.1.50.0 is down. Please reply with 'Ack' to pause alerts for 60 minutes

I want it to be:

This is an alert for your services

IP:10.1.50.0 is down. 

Please reply with 'Ack' to pause alerts for 60 minutes

I am creating a Contact page for my django project. forms.py has name, subject, sender and message. Here's the view:

And the form:

<form method="POST">

{%csrf_token%}

{{form.as_p}}

<button type="submit">Send</button>

</form>

After I click Send I get this error: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'encode' and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong despite checking other questions of the same type.

I am using google SMTP server, from this link following its instructions.

Hi all! So Ive been trying to make a program that sends me an email via python when something happens but I'm having alot of difficulty with the email part...

I have been reading a heap of different things about how to do it and eventually went with [this one] (https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/email-examples.html).

I filled in my code using a free smtp server and it looks like:

 def SendEmail():
    from email.mime.text import MIMEText
    # Open a plain text file for reading.  For this example, assume that
    # the text file contains only ASCII characters.
    fp = open('message.txt', 'r+')
    # Create a text/plain message
    msg = MIMEText(fp.read())
    fp.close()

    # me == the sender's email address
    # you == the recipient's email address
    msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of %s' % 'test'
    msg['From'] = 'myemaile@gmail.com'
    msg['To'] ='myemail@gmail.com'

    # Send the message via our own SMTP server, but don't include the
    # envelope header.
    s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp-pulse.com')
    s.sendmail(msg['From'], msg['To'], msg.as_string())
    s.quit()

inserting my actual email, however when I run it I get the following error:

(501, b'Syntactically invalid HELO argument(s)')

Ive googled this and all I can find is errors due to the input host address or something due to them hosting this incorrectly, but I'm not really sure how to fix it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

EDIT: Okay so u/johninbigd kindly pointed out that the 'TO' field has to be a list, I did forget about that and now I'm getting this error:

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode'

Edit: WOOO finally got it working. The issue was just I had to go into google settings and allow less secure apps or something like that. Also removed all that code and followed the instructions from here:
