sending e-mail from python

[linuxlastslonger]

hello all! i'm in charge of developing a backup program for our server product, and one of the fuctions is to e-mail the user and our offices if any problems occur. anyways, i cannot figure out how to send an e-mail from within python. i've tried using os.spawnvpe, but it doesn't work correctly. i'm trying to do something like:

mail user@userdomain < someoutput.out

but the spawnvpe doesn't want to work correctly.

any ideas??

Why not give a try at the SMTP Python module ?

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-smtplib.html

It's easy to use:
