How to solve AttributeError: SMTP_SSL instance has no attribute '__exit__' in Python?
Could anyone help me to solve this error: AttributeError: SMTP_SSL instance has no attribute 'exit'.
I am working on a small module which sends multiple emails using Python. Python Version: 2.7.15 OS: MacOS X
import smtplib
import ssl
port = 465 # For SSL
smtp_server = "smtp.gmail.com"
sender_email = "[email protected]" # type: str # Enter your address
receiver_email = "[email protected]" # Enter receiver address
password = 'xyz@0101'
message = """\
Subject: Hi there
This message is sent from Python."""
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL(smtp_server, port, context ) as server:
server.login(sender_email, password)
server.sendmail(sender_email, message, receiver_email)
Answer
Support for using with statements with smtplib.SMTP_SSL was added in Python3.3, so it won't work in Python2.7
Something like this should work:
context = ssl.create_default_context()
server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(smtp_server, port, context )
server.login(sender_email, password)
server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message)
server.quit()
