Python script to send programming tips everyday
Here is the way to write a Python script that sends programming tips every day using the smtplib
library to send emails:
import smtplib import datetime import random from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText # Email configuration SMTP_SERVER = 'smtp.example.com' SMTP_PORT = 587 EMAIL_FROM = 'your_email@example.com' EMAIL_PASSWORD = 'your_email_password' EMAIL_TO = 'recipient@example.com' # List of programming tips programming_tips = [ "Always comment your code for better readability.", "Test your code thoroughly to catch bugs early.", "Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable tasks.", "Use version control to track changes in your codebase.", "Learn to write clean and efficient code.", # Add more tips as needed ] # Function to send email def send_email(subject, body): msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = EMAIL_FROM msg['To'] = EMAIL_TO msg['Subject'] = subject msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain')) server = smtplib.SMTP(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT) server.starttls() server.login(EMAIL_FROM, EMAIL_PASSWORD) server.sendmail(EMAIL_FROM, EMAIL_TO, msg.as_string()) server.quit() # Function to get today's tip def get_tip_of_the_day(): today = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') random.seed(today) # Ensure the same tip is sent for the day return random.choice(programming_tips) # Main function def main(): # Get today's tip tip_of_the_day = get_tip_of_the_day() # Send email subject = f"Programming Tip of the Day - {datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}" body = f"Today's tip: {tip_of_the_day}" send_email(subject, body) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
smtp.example.com
, your_email@example.com
, your_email_password
, and recipient@example.com
with your actual email server details and credentials. This script will select a random tip from the list each day and email it to the specified recipient.
