Python email send help

[MikeKats]

Hey guys .. i want to sent an email from myself to myself with a .txt file using python .. would this code work ? 

import smtplib

file = 'C:\file.txt'

text = "example"

mail = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.exaplegmail.com',port)

mail.ehlo()

mail.starttls()

mail.login('mail','pass')

mail.attach(file)

mail.sendmail('from','to', text)

mail.close()

I think it's MIMEMultuipart who has attach method, smtp does not seem to has one. So my guess would be that the above won't work and you need to build your messages witch MIMEMultipart and MIMEText, here are a loot of examples: https://docs.python.org/2/library/email-examples.html

 

What I don't quite understand is why there are from and to arguments for sendmail and you also have to apply those in headers. But I would just do as the example says, and use MIMEMultipart.
