There are lots of powerful things you can do with the python.sometime we are in need to automate the things like sending email and sometimes it requires to have this script scheduled and we can can not leave password expoes. Sometimes lots many ports are blockeked only thing left to use send email with reqired information.

what we can do?

we can schedule one script which can send automated emails.

== we have developed on python script and converted to EXE==

we can embed this exe inside .bat,.cmd or .ps1 script.

Assuming you have python installed on your machine

copy and edit you username and password.

Copy below python code to EXE whith help of pyinstaller. ==Some thing like this==

C:\location\of\your_py_file>pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --icon=\path_to_ico_file\Log.ico \path_to_py_file\Log_reporter.py

Once you have single exe file copy file to you windows script location

include inside you script like this:

log_reporter.exe "pass the subject inside double quotes" "body inside double quotes" "receiver_email_id@domain.com" C:\location of all files to be attached\
