Python sends an email with the content of the entire folder as an attachment

This article describes how to send an email with the content of the entire folder as an attachment in Python. In normal cases, attachments in free mail of the carrier can only be sent to files but not folders, this script can be used to send folders (strong in manual programming: D). For more information, see

Because I often need to back up the content in the folder to the email, it is too troublesome to open the email, upload the file, and send it. In fact, each file sent is fixed, only the mail title is different, so I used python to write a small tool for sending files to the mailbox, execute this script in any directory, and specify the mail label, send the files in the specified folder to the mailbox for backup.
