I have a function which sends a mail to a user, like this:
import os
import smtplib
import imghdr
from email.message import EmailMessage
EMAIL_ADDRESS = email
EMAIL_PASSWORD = password
msg = EmailMessage()
msg['Subject'] = 'Email Title'
msg['From'] = EMAIL_ADDRESS
msg['To'] = ANOTHER_EMAIL_ADDRESS
msg.set_content('Email content')
html = open('email.html', 'r').read()
print(html)
msg.add_alternative(html, subtype='html')
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465) as smtp:
smtp.login(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_PASSWORD)
smtp.send_message(msg)
And the html file is like the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body>
<h3 style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size: large;font-weight: bold;">Hey there, {{userEmail}}!
<h3>
</body>
</html>
I want to be able to pass the 'userEmail' variable to the HTML file. How may I do that?

In email.html change {{userEmail}} to {userEmail}. Then you should be able to use Python string formatting to add the userEmail variable.
userEmail = "MyFriend"
html = open('email.html', 'r').read().format(userEmail=userEmail)
print(html)
