I am designing a way to have an online game without having to pay for a server. To do this I use the following libraries:
import imaplib, smtplib, ssl
import email
from email.header import decode_header
import webbrowser
import os
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
Right now the mailing works and all but whenever I run either the read or write mail commands (shown here:)
def writeMail(data, fileName = ""):
username = mail.username
password = mail.password
message = MIMEMultipart("alternative")
if(fileName == ""):
message["Subject"] = "00302"
else:
message["Subject"] = "00302#"+fileName
message["From"] = username
message["To"] = username
text = str(data)
html = ""
# Turn these into plain/html MIMEText objects
part1 = MIMEText(text, "plain")
part2 = MIMEText(html, "html")
# Add HTML/plain-text parts to MIMEMultipart message
# The email client will try to render the last part first
message.attach(part1)
message.attach(part2)
# Create secure connection with server and send email
context = ssl.create_default_context()
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com", 465, context=context) as server:
server.login(username, password)
server.sendmail(username, username, message.as_string())
def clean(text):
# clean text for creating a folder
return "".join(c if c.isalnum() else "_" for c in text)
def readMail(fileName = ""):
username = mail.username
password = mail.password
work = False
# create an IMAP4 class with SSL
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
# authenticate
imap.login(username, password)
status, messages = imap.select("INBOX")
# total number of emails
messages = int(messages[0])
for i in range(messages, 0, -1):
# fetch the email message by ID
res, msg = imap.fetch(str(i), "(RFC822)")
for response in msg:
if isinstance(response, tuple):
# parse a bytes email into a message object
msg = email.message_from_bytes(response[1])
# decode the email subject
subject, encoding = decode_header(msg["Subject"])[0]
if isinstance(subject, bytes):
# if it's a bytes, decode to str
subject = subject.decode(encoding)
# decode email sender
From, encoding = decode_header(msg.get("From"))[0]
if isinstance(From, bytes):
fFrom = From.decode(encoding)
# if the email message is multipart
if msg.is_multipart():
# iterate over email parts
for part in msg.walk():
# extract content type of email
content_type = part.get_content_type()
content_disposition = str(part.get("Content-Disposition"))
try:
# get the email body
body = part.get_payload(decode=True).decode()
except:
pass
if content_type == "text/plain" and "attachment" not in content_disposition:
# print text/plain emails and skip attachments
mail.body = body
if "attachment" in content_disposition:
# download attachment
filename = part.get_filename()
if filename:
folder_name = mail.clean(subject)
if not os.path.isdir(folder_name):
# make a folder for this email (named after the subject)
os.mkdir(folder_name)
filepath = os.path.join(folder_name, filename)
# download attachment and save it
open(filepath, "wb").write(part.get_payload(decode=True))
else:
# extract content type of email
content_type = msg.get_content_type()
# get the email body
body = msg.get_payload(decode=True).decode()
#if content_type == "text/plain":
# # print only text email parts
# print(body)
if content_type == "text/html":
# if it's HTML, create a new HTML file and open it in browser
folder_name = mail.clean(subject)
if not os.path.isdir(folder_name):
# make a folder for this email (named after the subject)
os.mkdir(folder_name)
filename = "index.html"
filepath = os.path.join(folder_name, filename)
# write the file
open(filepath, "w").write(body)
# open in the default browser
webbrowser.open(filepath)
if(fileName == ""):
if(subject == "00302"):
work = True
break
else:
if(subject == "00302#"+fileName):
work = True
break
# close the connection and logout
imap.close()
imap.logout()
if(work):
return mail.body
At first Windows asked me how I wanted to open a file. When I clicked to open it with Google it started opening a new tab for every email that Python read. If I don't click anything when the "How do you want to open this" pops up, and I just continue to use the program while letting the Window go to the back, it doesn't open new tabs and the program runs normally. So my question really is how to prevent that "How to open" from existing.
It was the line webbrowser.open that was causing this problem. After a couple tests the mailing still works but the extra tabs/windows do not appear.
