Python script that emails an attachement

LouisEarly — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:56:44 GMT

I had the following python script that sent out an email with an attachment. It worked fine for the last 6 months then suddenly has stopped working. Anyone have any ideas?

import smtplib

from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart

from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase

from email.MIMEText import MIMEText

from email import Encoders

import zipfile

import os

gmail_user = "xxx@gmail.com"

gmail_pwd = "password"

def mail(recipients, subject, text, attach):

msg = MIMEMultipart()

msg['Subject'] =subject

msg['From'] = gmail_user

msg['To'] = ", ".join(recipients)

msg.attach(MIMEText(text))

part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')

part.set_payload(open(attach, 'rb').read())

Encoders.encode_base64(part)

part.add_header('Content-Disposition','attachment; filename="%s"' % os.path.basename(attach))

msg.attach(part)

mailServer = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)

mailServer.ehlo()

mailServer.starttls()

mailServer.ehlo()

mailServer.login(gmail_user, gmail_pwd)

mailServer.sendmail(gmail_user, recipients, msg.as_string())

# Should be mailServer.quit(), but that crashes...

mailServer.close()

mail(['xxx@williams.com'],

"KMZ Update",

"attached is the google earth update", r"C:\Users\user\Desktop\GEupdate.kmz")

What is the error message, if any?

Edit: the above script works perfectly fine for me, as it is.

Im not getting an error. The script just runs and nothing happens. It simply says it's still running.
