A tutorial that Python sends a message with the contents of an entire folder as an attachment

Because I often need to back up the contents of the folder into the mail, each open mail, upload files, send, too troublesome, in fact, each time the files are placed in fixed, but the message header is different, so with Python for themselves to write a file to the mailbox of the gadget, in any directory to execute the script, and specify the message label, the files under the specified folder are sent to the mailbox to be backed up.

Installation:

Save the file as Send_files and save it under/usr/bin.

Then set the file permissions to executable:

Usage:

$ Send_files ' message header '

Also with a progress bar Oh ~ ~
