Pandas send email containing dataframe as a visual table
Take this example:
df_1 = ([1,2,3,5])
df_2 = ([10,20,30,50])
df_test =pd.concat([pd.DataFrame(df_1),pd.DataFrame(df_2)],axis=1)
How can I send an email, via gmail, with this dataframe to look like a table?
This is what I tried:
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(fromaddr , ".......")
msg = df_test.to_html()
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, msg)
server.quit()
Solution 1:
Try:
- Using
str.formatto append your DF html to the email body html.
Ex:
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.application import MIMEApplication
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from smtplib import SMTP
import smtplib
import sys
recipients = ['[email protected]']
emaillist = [elem.strip().split(',') for elem in recipients]
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = "Your Subject"
msg['From'] = '[email protected]'
html = """\
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
{0}
</body>
</html>
""".format(df_test.to_html())
part1 = MIMEText(html, 'html')
msg.attach(part1)
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.sendmail(msg['From'], emaillist , msg.as_string())
Solution 2:
Install pretty-html-table
from pretty_html_table import build_table
body = """
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
{0}
</body>
</html>
""".format(build_table(df, 'blue_light'))
You need not have to worry about the formatting and also if there are website links in your DataFrame then the output will be with hyperlinks only.
