[issue29771] An email and MIME handling package - Add support to send CC of email

R. David Murray added the comment: If you use smtplib.send_message in python3, it will do what you want (including stripping BCC headers before sending the message). If someone wants to create a PR to add an example of what Eric is talking about (specifying additional senders in smtplib.sendmail to match what is in the CC headers) please open a new issue with a PR (which may or may not get accepted :). I don't think it is worth doing, myself, but I won't object if others think it enhances the docs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29771> _______________________________________

Jack added the comment: "I'm on the fence about including this in the examples." Think of it this way.. Including it in the docs would have prevented this question. It can be just a side note it doesn't have to be a whole example. Thx. ---------- status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29771> _______________________________________

Eric V. Smith added the comment: You need to review how SMTP works. The contents of the mail message have no bearing on where messages are sent. That's exactly how BCC works: there's nothing in the message telling you who is BCC'd, but the mail is still sent to the BCC recipients, via SMTP. Similarly, you could have the message say that someone(a)example.com is in the To: header, but not send it to them via SMTP. I'm on the fence about including this in the examples. In any event, this bug tracker is not a place for an email tutorial. From your SO link, there's a reference (by user xyref) to another question which explains this in detail: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1546367/python-how-to-send-mail-with-to-…. This completely explains the issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29771> _______________________________________

Jack added the comment: I think you missundersttod. I showed the example page just so you would understand what I am talking about. Let me explain it better: msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of %s' % textfile msg['From'] = me msg['To'] = you Works. msg['Subject'] = 'The contents of %s' % textfile msg['From'] = me msg['To'] = you msg['CC'] = x msg['BCC'] = y won't work. It doesn't know what is CC and BCC. This is why I opened this request to modify the package to support it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29771> _______________________________________

Eric V. Smith added the comment: So, you want to improve the examples? I wouldn't be opposed to that. I don't see that there's any code to change. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29771> _______________________________________

Xiang Zhang added the comment: +1 for jsoh. Actually the behaviour is documented in https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#value-comparisons. So a single 'a is b' or 'a == b' is not complete. I would like to use 'equal to' which implies 'a is b or a == b'. ---------- nosy: +xiang.zhang _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29756> _______________________________________

[issue29756] Improve documentation for list methods that compare items by equality
by Josh Rosenberg 08 Mar '17

Josh Rosenberg added the comment: Steven: Technically, in CPython, they use both identity and equality testing, as a function of using RichCompareBool (which tests identity first, then equality), rather than RichCompare (which only tests equality). It makes a difference for stuff like NaN values, where describing it as equality only would imply that: nan = float('nan') ([nan] * 10).count(nan) produces 0 (because nan is equal to nothing, including itself), when in fact it produces 10 (because we reused the same nan object, and the identity test passed). ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29756> _______________________________________
