Chilkat2 Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat2 or download... Python Module for Windows, Linux, Alpine Linux, MacOS, Solaris

import sys
import chilkat2

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

mime = chilkat2.Mime()

# Initialize a multipart-mixed MIME message:
success = mime.NewMultipartMixed()

# Each sub-part will be prepared, then added to the 
# top-level multipart/mixed MIME object, and then written
# to a file.

# First the plain-text sub-part
# Add a few header fields:
textPart = chilkat2.Mime()
success = textPart.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test")
success = textPart.AddHeaderField("MyId","123")
success = textPart.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain-text body")

# Now for a GIF image:
imagePart = chilkat2.Mime()
success = imagePart.SetBodyFromFile("starfish.gif")
if (success == False):
    print(imagePart.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Append each sub-part to the top-level MIME object:
success = mime.AppendPart(textPart)
success = mime.AppendPart(imagePart)

# Write the full multipart-mixed MIME to a file.
success = mime.SaveMime("out.mim")
if (success == False):
    print(mime.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print(mime.GetMime())

# The MIME should look something like this:
