Below is a Python script to send jpg files via gmail.

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
import os
"""
extensions of files that we will send
"""
extension = "jpg"
"""
This function returns a tuple with the files located in the
current
directory
"""

files = os.listdir() #this program should be saved in the current directory where your files are.

"""
We check what files have our wished extension
"""

for file in files:
if extension in file:
user ="sending@gmail.com"
recv ="receiving@gmail.com"
subject = "Subject"
message = MIMEMultipart()
message["From"] = user
message["To"] = recv
message["Subject"]= subject
body = "Files with ." + extension + "extension"
message.attach(MIMEText(body,"plain")
attachment = open(file,"rb"
part = MIMEBase("application","octet-stream"
part.set_payload((attachment).read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header("Content-Disposition","attachment;
filename= " + file)
message.attach(part)
text = message.as_string()
server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",587)
server.starttls()
server.login(user,"your gmail pasword"
server.sendmail(user,recv,text)
server.quit()
else:
pass


This code was shared by Om Tav on a Facebook page.

You may get an error at first due to Google trying to protect your Gmail account from unknown app trying to login in.

Just check your email and follow the steps provided by Gmail.

Then run the code again.

Happy Pythonic Holiday and try to automate your task with Python
