Storing return data of print Whois in Python

Question

I have this Python script:

import whois 
w = whois.whois('google.com')
print w

I want to store the results of print to send them via an email.

What have you tried so far?, you can see here how to send email via python http://stackoverflow.com/questions/64505/sending-mail-from-python-using-smtp — omri_saadon, Jul 19 '15 at 10:50

Download yagmail to make your life a lot easier for sending an email.

Run on commandline pip install yagmail

Next, you can easily send an email to yourself like:

import yagmail
import whois 
w = whois.whois('google.com')

yag = yagmail.SMTP('yourusername@gmail.com', 'yourpasswrd')
yag.send(contents = str(w))

Note that the default is to send to yourself without a to argument.

If you want to be explicit you can do:

yag.send('recipient@email.com', "this is the subject", str(w))
