Enviar um e-mail através do gmail & python

Qual é a forma recomendada de enviar e-mails com o gmail e o python?

Existem muitos 'so threads', mas a maioria são antigos e também o smtp com nome de utilizador e senha não está a funcionar mais ou o utilizador tem de diminuir a segurança do seu gmail (por exemplo, veja aqui).

o Aauth é o caminho recomendado?

A resposta mostra como enviar e-mail com a API do gmail e o python. Também atualizou a resposta para enviar e-mails com anexo.

A API & OAuth do Gmail - > não é necessário gravar o nome de utilizador e a senha no programa.

A primeira vez que o programa abre um navegador para autorizar o programa e irá armazenar as credenciais localmente (não irá guardar o nome de utilizador e a senha). As corridas consequentes não vão precisar do navegador e podem enviar e-mails diretamente.

Com este método você not get errors like SMTPException below and there is no need to allow Access for less secure apps:

raise SMTPException("SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.")  
smtplib.SMTPException: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.


Aqui estão os passos para enviar e-mail usando a API do gmail:

Turn on Gmail API steps (Wizard link aqui , mais informação aqui)

Passo 2: Instale a Biblioteca do Cliente do Google

pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Passo 3: Use o seguinte programa para enviar e-mail(basta alterar as variáveis na função principal)

Dica para a correr este código no linux, sem navegador:
Se o seu ambiente linux não tiver navegador para completar o processo de autorização da primeira vez, você pode executar o Código uma vez em seu laptop (mac ou windows) e, em seguida, copiar as credenciais para a máquina de destino linux. As credenciais são normalmente armazenadas no seguinte Destino:

~/.credentials/gmail-python-email-send.json

## About credentials
# There are 2 types of "credentials": 
#     the one created and downloaded from https://console.developers.google.com/apis/ (let's call it the client_id) 
#     the one that will be created from the downloaded client_id (let's call it credentials, it will be store in C:\Users\user\.credentials)


        #Getting the CLIENT_ID 
            # 1) enable the api you need on https://console.developers.google.com/apis/
            # 2) download the .json file (this is the CLIENT_ID)
            # 3) save the CLIENT_ID in same folder as your script.py 
            # 4) update the CLIENT_SECRET_FILE (in the code below) with the CLIENT_ID filename

            # you will need the CLIENT_ID each time to create a new credential that contains the new scope.

Obrigado, @Guillame, @apadana. A resposta de @ Guillaume funcionou muito bem para mim no Win/Python3.7, mas com uma mudança. Para todas as 3 declarações de impressão, eu tive que remover o "f", como na mudança:
print (f'An error occurred: {error}')

A

print ('An error occurred: {error}')

Veja também a primeira parte da resposta de @apandana para obter o seu client_secret.ficheiro json. Isso foi mais claro para mim.

Author: ram, 2017-06-14 04:29:03

Para os utilizadores do jupyter-notebook, depois de seguir as instruções de @apadana, se receber mensagens de erro críptico, certifique-se de copiar o código para o seu próprio ficheiro python e executá-lo usando

%run [filename].py
[[6]} (ainda não faço ideia de como descobri isso) Quando acabares de fazer isso, estás quase livre.

Faça a última alteração: o erro da API do Gmail a partir da amostra de código - um objecto semelhante a bytes é necessário, não "str'

Substituir

return {'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(message.as_string())}

Com:

return {'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(message.as_string().encode()).decode()}
Agora, deve funcionar.

Notas finais: lembrem-se que há duas instâncias da Base 64 codificam a coisa...

Utilizar

return {'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(msg.as_string().encode()).decode()}

Em método CreateMessageHtml

E

return {'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(message.as_string().encode()).decode()}

Em método, criar uma mudança de atitude

A razão pela qual você tem que fazer isso é porque a mensagem tem o nome variável 'msg' em CreateMessageHtml, mas o nome 'mensagem' em createMessageWithAttachment. Porque questao. É por isso.
