I'm trying to use django to send emails to a bunch of people at the same time (although right now, I'm trying to get it to work with only one). I have a class called User that has a field email and a foreign-key to a class called Group. Now, I'm trying to send an email to all users in a specific group. To do that, I have the following code:
addresses = User.objects.filter(group__group='Operations').values_list('email')
This is correctly getting the email addresses (if I print the addresses I get [(u'address@example.com',)]. I then use addresses to create an email:
email = EmailMessage('Test',
get_template('test.html').render(Context({'content': 'This is a TEST!'})),
to = addresses)
When I was doing this before, manually passing in an email address to the "to" argument, it worked perfectly, however now it gives me the error in the title: "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack. The line of code that seems to create the error is email.send().
What does this error mean? Why am I getting it? How should I fix it? Is there a better way to get the email addresses out of all the users with the specified group?
Thanks.
Found a solution. Very simple, actually.
addresses = User.objects.filter(group__group='Operations').values_list('email', flat=True)
