I can send text email with the Mailgun python API fine:
def send_simple_message(mailtext, filename=""):requests.post("https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mydomain.in/messages",auth=("api", "key-1234"),files=[("attachment", open(filename))],data={"from": "Credit Card Manager <[email protected]>","to": ["[email protected]"],"subject": "Summary of Credit Card payments due","text": mailtext})
The above code works fine, and message is delivered.
However when I try the following, using an html string,
def send_simple_message(mailtext, mailhtml, filename=""):requests.post("https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mydomain.in/messages",auth=("api", "key-61a652b57"),files=[("attachment", open(filename))],data={"from": "Credit Card Manager <[email protected]>","to": ["[email protected]"],"subject": "Summary of Credit Card payments due","text": mailtext,"html": mailhtml})
where, mailhtml is the following string:
<html><body><h4>CREDIT CARD STATEMENT FOR MAY</h4><table><tr><th>Card</th><th>Dues</th><th>Date</th></tr><tr><td>Standard Chartered</td><td>3,755.29</td><td>16/05/2018</td></tr><tr><td>HDFC</td><td>41,616.90</td><td>04/05/2018</td></tr><tr><td>ICICI</td><td>5,833.74</td><td>11/05/2018</td></tr><tr><td>SBI</td><td>20,667.00</td><td>01/05/2018</td></tr></table></body></html>
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):File "getcreditcards.py", line 611, in <module>send_simple_message(txtbody, htmlbody, os.getcwd() + '/' + excelfilename)File "getcreditcards.py", line 484, in send_simple_message"html": mailhtmlFile "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 112, in postreturn request('post', url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 58, in requestreturn session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 488, in requestprep = self.prepare_request(req)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 431, in prepare_requesthooks=merge_hooks(request.hooks, self.hooks),File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 308, in prepareself.prepare_body(data, files, json)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 496, in prepare_body(body, content_type) = self._encode_files(files, data)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 159, in _encode_filesfdata = fp.read()File "/usr/lib/python3.6/codecs.py", line 321, in decode(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)

What seems to be the problem here?
