Send html file as body of email through outlook

Question

I am trying to send a bokeh graph through outlook email as body. And you know, bokeh graph , I have generated as an HTML file. The same I would like to send in the email embedded as the body of the email.

I tried reading the HTML file reading using the read command and supplying the same as the htmlbody. But, it comes as blank in the email. Nothing comes populated. Below is the code I tried.

import win32com.client as win32
import psutil
import os
import subprocess
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = '[email protected]'
mail.Subject = 'Sent through Python'
html_url='C:/Users/ABC/Documents/XYZ/test.htm'
with open(html_url, 'r') as myfile:
     data=myfile.read()
mail.HTMLBody = data
mail.send

Then tried the below ... But still email body is blank.. Any idea what is going wrong ???

from bokeh.embed import components
from jinja2 import Template
from bokeh.resources import INLINE
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.io import output_file,show,output_notebook

import win32com.client as win32
import psutil
import os
import subprocess

outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = '[email protected]'
mail.Subject = 'Sent through Python'

def get_plot_components() :
   # build your plot here
    plot = figure()
    plot.circle([2,3,4],[5,6,7])
    show(plot)
    script, div = components(plot)
    return script, div

template = Template('''
       <div id='bokeh_plot_for_the_body'>
          {{ resources | safe }}
          {{ div | safe }}
          {{ script | safe }}
       </div>
                ''')

script, div = get_plot_components()
outlook_body = template.render(resources = INLINE.render(),
                               script = script,
                               div = div)
mail.HTMLBody = outlook_body
mail.send

Answer 1

Looks like this can't be achieved as no email clients allow to run scripts due to security threat. Only way out is attaching an html file or give a html link in the email.
