[Tutor] Insert time into email

[Bo Morris]

hello all, hope everyone is doing well.

The below code works, however I am going back and trying to enter the time
and date and I cant quite figure out how to do this without breaking the
code.

#!/usr/bin/python

import smtplib
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage
import time

strFrom = "HourlyReport.com"

#strTo = "engineering at oneconnxt.com"
#strTo = "mmedley at onemediacorpinc.com"
strTo = "bo at onemediacorpinc.com"

l = ['3102EHD-01108.png', '3102DHD-01109.png','3102EHD-01082.png',
'3102DHD-01033.png', '3102EHD-01302.png', '3102DHD-01149.png',
'3102EHD-01125.png', '3102DHD-01144.png', '3102EHD-01105.png']

t = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
d = time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")

msgRoot = MIMEMultipart('related')
msgRoot['Subject'] = 'Test Hourly Report'
msgRoot['From'] = strFrom
msgRoot['To'] = strTo
msgRoot.preamble = 'This is a multi-part message in MIME format.'

msgAlternative = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msgRoot.attach(msgAlternative)

msgText = MIMEText('This is the alternative plain text message.')
msgAlternative.attach(msgText)

msgText = MIMEText('<table cellspacing="15" border="1"><tr><td><img
src="cid:3102EHD-01108.png" width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME<td><td>DATE</td></td></tr></table></td><td><img
src="cid:3102DHD-01109.png" width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME<td><td>DATE</td></td></tr></table></td></tr><table
cellspacing="15" border="1"><tr><td><img src="cid:3102EHD-01082.png"
width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td><td><img
src="cid:3102DHD-01033.png" width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><table
cellspacing="15" border="1"><tr><td><img src="cid:3102EHD-01302.png"
width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td><td><img
src="cid:3102DHD-01149.png" width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td></tr><table
cellspacing="15" border="1"><tr><td><img src="cid:3102EHD-01125.png"
width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td><td><img
src="cid:3102DHD-01144.png" width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td></tr></td></tr></table><table
cellspacing="15" border="1"><tr><td><img src="cid:3102DHD-01144.png"
width="400"
height="300"></img><table><tr><td>TIME</td><td>DATE</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>',
'html')
msgAlternative.attach(msgText)

for image in l:
    with open(image, 'rb') as fh:
        msgImage = MIMEImage(fh.read())
        msgImage.add_header('Content-ID', '<{0}>'.format(image))
        msgRoot.attach(msgImage)


try:
   smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
   smtpObj.sendmail(strFrom, strTo, msgRoot.as_string())
   print "Successfully sent email"
except smtplib.SMTPException:
   print "Error: unable to send email"

I need to enter the time and date in the html where "TIME" and "DATE" are.
I imagine I can do this by adding "cid: t" and "cid:d" which just refers
back to t = "time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")" "d = time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")"?

Thanks in advance for any help.
