Arduino Yun Python ImportError: No Module named mime.multipart

Question

So, I have an Arduino Yun, and I'm trying to send an email with python. I have this code that I got from https://github.com/amicojeko/YouCantTouchThis

But when I try to call the file with $python sendemail.py test.png, it returns me an error:

ImportError: No module named mime.multipart

I already tried to change to lowercase the imports, but it keeps showing the same error. The python version in the Arduino is 2.7. I've read something about module reorganization but even with the changes the error keep showing.
Here is the code:

Answer 1

mime.multipart isnt used in your code at all so you shouldn't be getting that error. The correct import statements for Python 2.7 are:

from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate
from email.encoders import Encoders

Study these examples in the Python 2.7 documentation.
