Open Chromium on your Raspi and go to the github for this assignment and download the file to your assignment folder, then edit the stuff in red on the document below (or you can copy the code below into a new file)

import smtplib

from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase

MESSAGE

#change the next 3 lines

#Setup the MIME
message = MIMEMultipart()
message['From'] = sender_address
message['To'] = receiver_address
message['Subject'] = 'A test mail sent by Python. It has an attachment.'
#The subject line
#The body and the attachments for the mail
#set the following line to the path of the file
#NOTE: you can right click on a file in the Raspi File Manager and "copy path"
attach_file_name = 'PUT PATH AND FILE NAME YOU WANT TO ATTACH HERE'
