I am trying to making a python autogenerated Email app but there is a problem when running the code the traceback error shows up but I did write the code as my mentor write it down. This is the code that I used:
import datetime as dt
import random
import smtplib
MY_EMAIL = "example@yahoo.com"
MY_PASSWORD = "example"
now = dt.datetime.now()
weekday = now.weekday()
print(weekday)
if weekday == 1:
with open("quotes.txt") as quote_file:
all_quotes = quote_file.readlines()
quote = random.choice(all_quotes)
print(quote)
with smtplib.SMTP("smtp.mail.yahoo.com") as connection:
connection.starttls()
connection.login(MY_EMAIL, MY_PASSWORD)
connection.sendmail(
from_addr=MY_EMAIL,
to_addrs="example@gmail.com",
msg=f"Subject:Monday Motivation\n\n{quote}"
)
This is the error that shows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/DP/Documents/Python Scripts/day-32-start/main.py", line 42, in <module>

all_quotes = quote_file.readlines()

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 110: character maps to <undefined>
