Make sure you have Python 3.6 or 3.7 installed. Then, import the library from TestPyPi (Test Python Packaging Index)

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pynotify

A demo script of this in action is shown below

from pynotify import send_email, send_email_with_attachment

subject = "Killer Robot"
message = "Hi there!"
dest = "[email protected]" # add your email here

# attachment paths are stored in an array
image = ["cat.jpg"]  # for one file
images = ["cat.jpg", "dog.jpg"] # for multiple files

# sends an email
send_email(dest, "Hello!")

# sends an email with attachements
send_email_with_attachment(dest, images, subject, message)

Takeaways

• Program written in Python 3.6
• Nothing here. What did you expect? A cookie!?
• Need to update dummy google account to less secure if not used for a long time, as google automatically shuts it down!
